Cannot re-install icloud on windows 7 pc

Hi there, as my Photo Stream wasn't syncing (and hasn't since September) I uninstalled 'icloud for windows' from my PC (running Windows 7, 64 bit) and am now unable to re-install it?
I've downloaded the latest version from the Apple website but I get a constant error screen as below -
"There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
I've also tried to install an older version (3.1 I think) following advice from these forums but can't do that either, can anyone help please?

Ok, I've sorted it - after checking both Apple & Microsoft forums I did the following.
I downloaded a proper uninstaller (apparently the windows version leave remnants of files that you can't see) at http://www.revouninstallerpro.com/
Using the 30 day free trial I deleted ALL Apple products (pls make sure your iTunes library is backed up first)
I then sucessfully re-installed the latest version of iCloud for Windows. The Photo Stream sync still doesn't work properly but then it didn't before either!
I am now manually downloading the photo's & Videos via icloud.com until Apple distribute a version that works. At least all the calendar stuff and contacts are back on my Outlook 2007 now.
I then re-installed iTunes and all is back to normal - good luck.

I'm guessing that you have checked and complied with the system requirements?

Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later or an up-to-date browser (for Mail, Contacts, Calendars)
Internet Explorer 9 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later (for Bookmarks)

Install iCloud on Windows 7 64 bit

Can't install iCloud on Windows 7 64 bit system due to iCloud control panel installer only having 32 bit installer for Bonjour

Microsoft have come up with a solution
It's called Microsoft Fixit
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
It allowed me to uninstall Bonjour with the standard Control Panel Uninstall could not (I got the same error message as the OP; I also got the same error message when trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.5.3)
With Bonjour uninstalled using Fixit, I upgraded iTunes successfully, then installed the iCloud Control Panel.
If you are trying to install new Apple software on your Windows 7 64 bit PC and are getting error messages that suggest a problem with Bonjour - especially ones that imply the installer needs to be 64 and not 32 bit, then you will not get anywhere without installing Bonjour first, either using Control Panel or failing that in this way.
Trying Administrator privileges will not work.

Outlook 2010 won't open after installing icloud for windows

Hi,
Installed icloud for windows at work this morning after moving my MM account to icloud at home on my MBP.
Installed ok but after ticking the mail, contacts, calendar and bookmark boxes on icloud for windows Outlook 2010 starts but won't open and stays on the "Processing..." for a long time before I close it.
Also the icloud for windows control panel won't reopen except the time it opens after installation. I have tried removing it and rebooting but after it's installed, if you close the control panel it won't reopen although it's still running in Task Manager. Closing it in Task Manager and restarting doesn't make a difference.
Currently I removed, rebooted and reinstalled and only have the bookmarks ticked and outlook works ok but the control panel still won't reopen.
I am on a exchange server so don't know if this is part of the problem. Not real worried about mail but would like calendars working again.
Very thankful for any help you can offer.

I had the same problem after successfully moving from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday on my PC, ipad and iphone.
Today I couldn't open Outlook 2010. An Outlook dialogue box for my MobileMe email account kept asking for the email password, and although I put the password in, it kept re-appearing.
I turned off Norton spam temporarily, because I noticed Outlook was stuck processing the Norton plug ins at opening, and managed to open Outlook but the programme crashed every time I tried to access my email account settings (I thought I would try to delete the MobileMe email account).
I then opened the Control Panel for iCloud and unchecked the Mail with Outlook box, which has enabled Outlook to work again. The @me.com email account was gone when I checked the email accounts. I never needed to use the @me.com email account anyway.
How frustrating and such a waste of my time.
Does anyone know what difference it makes if the MobileMe/iCloud email is not connected to Outlook? Does it really make any difference when you have your email accounts in the iPad and iPhone anyway?

HT6413 I keep getting a installation pkg error when installing icloud for windows 7 on my pc.

I keep getting an windows installation error when installing icloud for windows 7. I have tried installing manually without success.

There is a very long way which is removing anything related to Apple including stuff in the registry.
The short way is as follows. It worked for me.
I have seen that in the forum EXCEPT the registry trick which is missing and does the different.
1. Remove the Apple account from Outlook. In my case a me.com account.
2. Disconnect the connection to ICloud in the control panel of version 3.1.
REBOOT and open Outlook to see that all traces of the email account and of ICloud are gone.
3. Uninstall ICloud 3.1. I used REVO Uninstaller in Safe way mode. It removed some stuff in the registry from what I see; but not sure.
4. Delete as much stuff as possible in the C \Program Files (x86) \Common Files \ Apple
and C\Program Files\Common Files \Apple. My computer is 64 bits.
5. Go to the registry by typing regedit.exe or simply type regedit in the Start Box. Search for ICloud. I deleted TWO entries related to ICloud. Otherwise, you will still see the ICloud control panel despite the fact that you removed 3.1.
6. then I was able to install ICloud 4 immediately. Upon restarting it asked me my email and password and added itseft to Outlook like it was before. Be aware that you address book in Outlook could be deleted, so do an export before.

Help I can not install iCloud for Windows 4.0.2

Every time I try to install iCloud for Windows 4.0.2 I receive a error message. Then I try downloading the file install but still no luck. What am I missing? I am using Windows 7 Pro with all other updates installed Core i7 3770K,16 Gig memory,64 bit OS,Service pack 1.

My machine at home actually states that I must use the older version for video to work, but for other installing this version has been a useful workaround for a number of issues, not necessarily limited to the video system, but also compatibility issues with other hardware and software.

WOW! That font is difficult to read. But, see if this support document helps you http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989. Photos stream is based on date and photos more than 30 days old are removed. Photostream is designed as a temporary storage to allow you to download the photos to the computer.

The solution is to delete /Library/Printers/hp/Frameworks/HPSmartX.framework and re-install the HP package once.

The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program

trying to install an update patch for Citrix xendesktop 7.5 and the error when I click on the msi patch is "the upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch
may update a different version of the program"
The application was installed 2 days prior and works fine but the patch will not install.
Any ideas?
Wendy2014

Yes let's see if there is any error occurs in installation log.
Meanwhile from the error message, the possible cause is that a part of the application is missing such as a registry key with app version. In this situation you can first test to reinstall/repair the application though it is still working fine - see if issue
persists after reinstall the app.
Meanwhile you could also contact Citrix about this issue. It may be a common issue and Citrix may provide a quick fix for it.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
