Hey Hug hug thanks for posting here!
Have you tried our offline installer that can be found here? Feel free to send me a screenshot of the error too, in order for me to have a visual.
Also, I did some digging and it seems this is a system error coming directly from Microsoft. Feel free to have a look at this relevant article too.
I'll be waiting for your updates!

So, in my case the installation will stop because of the error (mentioned on the top) but the drop box icon is appearing on my laptop. But it wont open.

Thanks for the update here, asd saiyan.
Do you perhaps have any security programs running on your computer, like an antivirus/firewall/VPN?
If so, please temporarily disable them, to see if it helps.

I work in China, and YES, I use a VPN. But if I disable the VPN, I cannot use Dropbox. What should I do? Is there a full version that can be downloaded and then offline installed on the system?
