        That's very odd. Have never seen an issue like that with Dropbox before.

          You don't have any whitelisting rules (or something to protect against Cryptolocker) set do you? Dropbox will operate out of %appdata% - although I'm not sure at what capacity, but this is something you can check for. I know the auto-updater does...

            I was thinking this or your AV could be an issue.

              You mention that you have joined a domain - Could there be domain rules prevent this software from being installed?

                Maybe the firewall is causing a problem?

                Nothing has changed. It worked then it didn't...

                  Tried that...the issue is that I can't open the program after it installs...

                        Try disabling Webroot while you perform the update (or any other active scanning apps if you have them)...doubt that would be it, but it's worth a try.

                          One step ahead of you....I disabled Webroot and I'm running the installer again...I couldn't open the app still so we'll see...

                            Ok, by some miracle I got Dropbox to open, which I've been able to in the past, but...I can't configure the account to link it to or where to store the physical files...want to move it to my 😧 drive but can't...can't link or unlink it from a non-existent account...GGRRR!!

                              Opened a help ticket with Dropbox support. They said to allow 1-3 business days for response...GRR!!

                                    So, do you expect faster service just because you've been with them for 10 years? I wouldn't, I'm on a free account, they will get to me when they get to me.. if I want faster service.. I need to give them a reason.. and parting with some of my cash is just that reason.

                                      In fact, being "free" for ten years makes you the biggest drain on their resources. You are free and always free, unlike someone new to the free account that might be on their way to a paid account.
