TAnon & SBering thanks for alerting us to this issue. We did make some changes to the security settings for our installers as part of Version 175 which seem to be causing issues with the security settings on your machines. The engineering team is currently looking into a fix, but there is a workaround you can try if you'd like to be able to install the latest version of Dropbox:

 

- From the Start menu, search for and open "Windows Security"

- Select App & Browser Control

- Select Exploit Protection Settings

- Reset "Force Randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR) back to the "Default (Off)" setting

- Reboot and try installing again

 

 

Here's a Capture showing the process: https://capture.dropbox.com/mWbJjWFzpXyafdZF

 

I'll update this thread once we have a long term fix for the issue and Mandatory ASLR can be turned back on
