Installation Error

[Judiciary]

I am on a State of Hawaii Judiciary network with security protocols. Our Judiciary network security team just did a mirror install of Windows 10 (upgraded from Windows 7 ((Drobox worked fine)). Installation was done from an "administrator's" account and worked fine at that time. When I logged into my user account dropbox displays an error message on startup and will not start. Spent several hours reinstalling Dropbox from my user account, with administrator privilege's with no luck. Still get the same error message. The message says, "Couldn't start Dropbox" "Please contact Dropbox support with the following info for help: C:\Users\ROLAND~.LAC\AppData\Local\Temp\dropbox_erroraob4175h.txt

Hey @Judiciary, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with this!

From the error message you provided, the issue could be related to the level of access to the Windows Registry, meaning the Dropbox app is being denied some permissions.

Please check out the info in this article, to see if those steps help with the error that you're getting.

Let me know how it goes!
