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.
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.
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.

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
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!
Also received same email, but not being a daredevil, I look forward to seeing this fix incorporated into the next stable version.
That new beta version worked for me as well. Thank you!!
Glad to see all the happy users. 😍
Dropbox Support emailed me that the next stable release (150.XXX) which includes this fix should be available mid-next week.
