Installation Failed Error Code 1073741795

Thanks Walter. The point being raised by several of us now is that Dropbox has deliberately disabled the protocol used in older versions, which is why everyone who cannot upgrade also cannot sync for almost two months now. Reverting this would at least give us the possibility to sync our data. This is why this has been requested multiple times but has yet not been responded to from a technical point of view.

Last night I received an e-mail on my ticket that the dev-team may have resolved this issue. The patch is a beta-build, so only for those dare devils among us.

https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-150-3-4929/td-p/599328

For me the issue has been resolved. Thank you so much dev-team.

And please be fair and consider to extend our paid plan by two months..

The beta build worked for me!! https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-150-3-4929/td-p/599328

Our engineers are aware of the 'Installation failure: Error code 1073741795'. We apologize for this inconvenience and are working to find resolution.

Seriously, this needs to be addressed. It's been weeks. 

Adding that there are several replies in this thread where users advised that they'd already tried installing previous versions but were unable to log in as it asks for the most recent version. Has something changed on dropbox's end in the meantime?

I'm not sure why this issue is marked "resolved" when it is not. In every other forum I participate in, "resolved" means a solution has been found and implemented.

Dropbox's handling of this has been atrocious. This is a critical productivity app. . .one where your entire data security is based on the ability to sync. That it has been months with no resolution is stunning. I need to find another data option. This is ridiculous. 

Tested the build out one of our laptops that was having the issue and it seemed to install fine. Thank you so much Dropbox Team for getting this issue resolved!

I opened three different direct tickets by e-mail, each time I am contacted by e-mail, then I am referred to an expert, then I am offered to make very general corrections (disable the antivirus for example).

The latest build I manage to install is the 112

But when connecting, I am told to install the latest version.

with this software

I looked for dropbox in the registar and I see that there are several hundred entries. maybe related to that.

I completely removed bitdefender, I only use windows security now. Even temporarily disabling it doesn't change anything.

I even opened a thread at microsoft but the proposed steps didn't change anything

in any case the error is not linked to the processor.
