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

Hi all - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

For anyone affected, could you please try an advanced reinstall using the offline installer from this page and let us know if you're still getting this error? 

Thanks a bunch!

    thank you for your reply.

    I have tried again the advanced reinstall using the offline installer from your link but I still get the same error message.

    I´m looking forward for a solution.

      Sorry to hear this persists for you dettad 

      Would it be OK if I reach out via email to have a further look internally? 

      Let me know and I'll use the email address that's associated with your forum profile.

        Hi Walter ,

         

        My computer is new and does not have an existing Dropbox folder (mentioned in the advanced Re-Install).

        Do you have further suggestions.

        Also, when I set up my community user name, I didn't provide an email associated and now I can't find correct field in my profile to add an email.  Is it the email associated with my Dropbox account?
