    I'm trying to install the new program "Dropbox" (http://www.getdropbox.com), but this error message keeps popping up when I click to download it:

    /tmp/nautilus-dropbox-0.4.1-1.fc9.i386-4.rpm could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

    I tried changing my Firefox 3 preferences to a different download location, but still had no luck. Has anyone else had this problem, and did you manage to get around it? Thanks!

    Don't know anything about this program, but it looks like it might require Nautilus which is a gnome file manager.

    Cheers.
