"Dropbox failed to uninstall" on Win10.
Trying to uninstall Dropbox Client in my Win 10 Home edition n the uninstallation process incompletes with "Dropbox failed to uninstall" n try to remove manually n reinstall it also ends up with the ...
Andrew,
Dropbox installation window (Dropbox 194.4.6267 Offline Installer.x86 - is this the latest stable version?) is disappeared when the installation is progressing as if the process is incomplete - though we can see the Client folder exists but when we execute Dropbox.exe - the error message shows Dropbox.exe - System Error ....\194.4.6267\vcruntime140.dll was not found. I have checked through ProcessMonitor there is no such Dropbox.Exe running and vcruntime140.dll - the only process loaded and running DropboxCrashHandler and DropboxUpdate.
Are you sure you are looking into ProcessMonitor instead of ProcessExplorer? They have similar names, both from Microsoft / Sysinternals, so they can be easily confused.
ProcessExplorer displays a list of running processes, while ProcessMonitor displays a log of file, registry and network operations. If you set a filter in ProcessMonitor to include only file operations and filter the ones which contain “vcruntime140.dll” in the “Path” column, do you get any log entries in the ProcessMonitor list of logged operations?
