Hi Megan,

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.

Thanks for clarifying, @The TechJedi! 

What is the OS on the device you're trying to install the app on? 

[The TechJedi]

Windows 10

Please reply back to me as soon as possible, and we'll continue working on this. 

Cheers!

I've been on the same journey as @Searson from a thread elsewhere in the community chat. I've been experiencing the exact error code:

To bypass a lot of the troubleshooting, I've already tried these fixes to no avail:

• I meet the minimum system reqs to run Dropbox
• I have a secure internet connection
• Antivirus (Bitdefender), firewall, and VPN disabled/turned off
• Firewall manually configured to work with dropbox
• Creating another user profile on computer then installing
• Tried to install app using typical installer (DropboxInstaller.exe)
• Tried to install app using Offline Installer (134.4.4115)
• Tried to install app using Offline Installer (140.4.1951)
• Clicking on the hyperlink for advanced re-install - takes me to this inane help page:
  Dropbox installer failed to start | Dropbox Help

Frankly, I've given up all hope. I'm past frustration or even anger, rather, I find myself impressed. Impressed that such an impenetrable issue persists and none of the internet witches and wizards can solve this conundrum of digital arcana.

Hey @Kyle mcGill, thanks for joining our Community and sorry to see you're having trouble with our desktop app.

So, if I understand correctly, you never managed to perform the advanced reinstall, right?

Can you try following the steps in this article to see if it helps?

Keep me posted.
