Question or Issue
To resolve an issue not related to dropbox I deleted this key in the registry:
HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SyncRootManager
Now Dropbox won't start. I have recreated with Key + permissions using another PC, but it seems Dropbox doesn't have the permissions to install what it needs inside this key. How can I fix this?
