4 years agoHi PeterLM, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you please clarify which version you've got installed on the affected computer at the moment?
Also, since you were able to successfully install the Dropbox desktop application in the newly created profile and the issue was resolved, it means that there may be some sort of mis-configuration, setting, policy, or permission restriction that is affecting the original profile.

Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there.
