Yes, I've contacted them, and nothing helps. There's people also all over these forums complaining about the same issue.
However, I'm on Windows 11. 10.0.26100.2454. I don't know the DB version as I uninstalled it, but my last attempt to uninstall and reinstall it was yesterday. So whatever the version was as of Nov 20th. From looking at the Windows logs, it keeps complaining it can't find a file. So I can do nothing about that if the app isn't installing the proper files.
I'll give it one more try, and I'll post the exact error details in the logs.

The drop box service just starts then stops with that error, and it's stopping and starting non stop. This is a fresh install after an uninstall and a windows reboot.
