Hi Kishan, this appears to be a generic Windows error message.

The first thing I’d recommend is to ensure that your Windows installation is fully updated to ensure this isn’t something that was fixed previously.

Secondly, try an advanced reinstall of the app to clear any old installation attempts.

Let me know how it goes!

This is a error of dropbox application, install without give admin permissions. The application will have some problems but it can be used, I have already contacted the support.

not work, i try run install as admin on win 10 insider and always get error 0x80096010

Hi @protoror, make sure when you run the installer that you don’t right click the installer and ‘Run as administrator’, otherwise you’ll experience issues later.

Are you installing on a work or home computer? Have you tried temporarily disabling the antivirus software to ensure the installation progresses as normal?

Any details you can provide would be great!

i try use web install, stable and beta no one cant run correctly (with admin or without admin)

IDK what need doing, no antivirus on this time, is work PC with domen/

Other software work good.

In order to investigate this matter further, @protoror, would it be okay if we message you at the email associated with your forum profile?

Hang on, I’m noticing a pattern here. 

Before we take this to email, if you’re all running the same version, namely Windows 1903 from Windows Insider, then this is not currently a fully tested or supported environment for the Dropbox desktop application. 

From the articles I’ve checked out, it seems that the 1903 update will be released some time in April, and by then the app should be functioning.

While we support a variety of operating systems, we are unable to support these versions until they are officially classified as stable. 

If you’re not running this version of Windows, let me know what version you’re running by checking it using the steps here.
