Installation Failed Error Code 1073741795
I keep getting the same error over and over again. I have tried every suggested resolution and nothing has worked. Anyone?

Our engineers have put out a new Beta Build: 150.3.4929, which fixes the 'Installation failure: Error code 1073741795'. You can find details about the fix, and how to install it, here.

For instance, Boxifier in the past has been known to prevent the Dropbox desktop application from updating.
If the app hasn't been installed with admin privileges, there could be similar issues.
If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, you could try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?

Thanks for your response. Yes, I have tried the advance re-install, many times. I have tried many suggestions from the community with the same result. Same message as my first screen shot. i hope your problem is solved here https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/101001007/message-id/118833.
