Hello,

 

I am trying to update Dropbox (as version 120 stopped working...) but I am getting the following error:

 

Installation failed with an unknown error (Error code: -1073741795).

 

I tried the advanced reinstall, deleted all Dropbox folders and registry keys, but nothing worked. I also tried with three different versions of the offline installer: 129.4.3571, 143.4.4161, 144.4.4491.

 

My PC meets the minimum requirements: Windows 10, Intel i5 Skylake, 8GB RAM.

 

Do you have any suggestions?

 

Thanks!
