Dropbox installation failed with error 0x80096005

Hello,

I have just got a new laptop with McAfee LiveSafe security and I am having trouble installing Dropbox. 

When I try to install it, I get this error message:

Dropbox Installer

Dropbox Update installation failed with error 0x80096005.

Please advise

Update: Resolved

I just now upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. Now, with Windows 10, Dropbox is considered an "app" not a separate program. I just now learned that.
