Hey @aldoxx, I moved your post to this thread so as to keep troubleshooting efficient and relevant.

Could you please check if this link mentioned by @Rich does the trick for you?

Let us know of any updates!

can't start because missing dll

api-ms-win-core-timezone-l1-1-0.dll

oki, thank you so much for your help

You'd have to ask Microsoft as it's their update. This isn't a Dropbox related issue.

can i ask if this missing file only available in the update , i mean it's not in the original windows installation? so reinstalling my OS won't fix it? i have windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

Just FYI, this update will only be possible if you have the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed. Otherwise, you'll have to do that first.

The 32 bit update is on the same page, directly above the 64 bit update. You want the x86 file for Windows 7.

@Rich

@Ahiruko

Hey @constanza_, thanks for letting us know what worked for you regarding this. Glad to hear you were able to resolve it.

Thank you @Lusil!

I tried to do what you said (Advanced reinstall) but I can't even uninstall Dropbox. In a txt I copied the crash report (https://www.dropbox.com/s/10taaqk57vrdngg/Uninstall%20error.txt?dl=0).

And I also send you a screenshot of the error.

Thank you in advanced!

Вам, вероятно, следует обратиться в службу поддержки Dropbox напрямую, так как они получат доступ к информации вашей учетной записи и могут помочь вам лучше.

Sorry to hear that, @JonatanLeopardi. Have you tried an advanced reinstall by any chance?

If that doesn’t do the trick, could you please send me a screenshot of the error that you’re seeing (without any personal info)?

Thanks in advance!

Спасибо! Попробовал и снова тот же результат... После удачной (вроде бы) переустановки в процессе синхронизации загружаются файлы, но через 10-15 минут всё обламывается, значок в области уведомлений исчезает, а после запуска dropbox.exe выдает вышеуказанную ошибку. Система - семёрка домашняя, расширенная.
