    Ooh, Yes. That's known bug in the control script. I have signaled long time ago, but no fix yet. Dropbox development don't care about. Easiest way is ignore such messages and always reject new install (it's already installed in fact). Another way is introducing delay in launching after restart. In fact due to heavy initial load, the script can't detect the working daemon and decides that it's not installed (incorrect).

    PS: For more details related to the issue, take a look on a thread where that's widely discussed (almost monolog in fact).

Take care for some variable names, erroneously renamed from "dropboxforum" platform (one more bug, also known). Just set the correct name (as noted below the script)!
