Dropbox stalls during install
Long story short, all of my apps got wiped from my windows 10 PC and I'm reinstalling everything. Dropbox downloads fine, either the regular installer or the offline one, but it gets to "installing D...
Hey there, darklyndsea, let's see what we can find together on this one!
Have you by any chance rebooted your device? If I were you, I'd also try an advanced re-install and we can then take it from there.
Keep me posted on the results.

I rebooted. I rebooted in clean mode (problem persisted). I rebooted in safe mode (no problem). I reinstalled Windows. There is currently no speck of Dropbox left on my computer, because every time I try to reinstall it, it breaks my computer. Advanced reinstall only has you change the location of the dropbox folder, so I don't think it would change anything. I could try installing it on a different drive, I guess?
...Somehow, reinstalling worked this time. I literally did nothing different than the other dozen times I've tried in the past couple of weeks. I didn't even download a fresh installer or change the folder location. I'm very baffled, but very happy. Fingers crossed that it's a permanent solution!

Hey darklyndsea, glad to hear (or read in this case 😋) that this has been resolved!
However, if this happens again you know where to find me. Give me a shout if you need anything else.
