ICloud Control panel installs, but says installation failed

I installed iCloud on my PC about 5 months ago. PC is Win7 32 bit. Worked FINE ... my MS Outlook contacts were copied to my iPad perfectly.
Noticed that in OUTLOOK, my contacts were in the cloud and NOT in Outlook anymore ... but did not care.
Today I auto-archived Outlook, and now my connection to the Cloud is GONE.
Uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud (2.1.1.3) ... but when I run iCloud Control Panel, and CLICK the Outlook mail and contacts button in the control panel, I get an error that says iCloud is not installed correctly ... and that I should go to Windows Program Settings and "Repair" it ... which I do ... but I get the same error over and over... even after a fresh install.
So now my MS Outlook has ZERO contacts, and I cannot see my "me.com" email in Outlook anymore
It WAS working great. Now it does not work at all.
MYSTIFIED.

I uninstalled iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1.3 ...
Then INSTALLED version 1.1 - found it on another board ...
http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Appl e_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/041-3559.20120307.Kys3e/iCloudSetup.exe
version 2 has ONE check box for Outlook that includes "mail, contacts, calendar ..."
version 1 has SEPARATE check boxes for each item
I suspect that when I was running v2 connected to my Outlook (and it was running FINE) ... I archived ... and this somehow broke the connection to mail, and the entire app refused to "install correctly"
Interestingly, I could NOT successfully re-install v2, even a FRESH install! (maybe something about the icloud pst?)
Anyway ... v1 installed easily, I selected ONLY Contacts for sync, and it worked. I am not interested in reading my iCould email inside Outlook anyway ... if I really need to see iCloud email on my pc, I can use the iCloud.com website.
I have what I want - sync'd contacts between iPhone, iPad and Outlook.
Now ... I am wondering WHY Apple rolled out v2 ...

Windows icloud control panel installer error

I control uninstall or repair the Windows Icloud 4.00. I cannot install the update 4.01 either. Any workarounds? Symantec has a utility to completely uninstall their software in Windows. Does Apple have the same?

When trying to install iCloud for Windows in Windows v8.1 64 bit I get the error:
"The installer encountered errors before iCloud Control panel could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To try these operations at a later time, please run the installer again"
I have disable the Anti Virus, removed other Apple apps, re booted the system and have tried the installer several time from several sources. THEY ALL FAIL.
Excerpt from Event Viewer;
Product: iCloud -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

Icloud control panel installeras inte

Jag försöker installera icloud contol panel på min pc, men installationen lyckas inte. Får meddelande "Installer svarar inte". Provat flera gånger. Vad gör jag?

You can hack iCloud control panel to work on Windows XP to give you synced access to Contacts, Calenders, Reminders and Bookmarks. It also can be used to set up your me.com mail.
I found a solution here, have written it up in clearer english and added details re IMAP support for me.com addresses here:
http://xlii.be/s/1ii
In summary:
Requirements:
iTunes 5.10
Unpacking program e.g. 7-Zip or WinRar
Orca MSI editor
The iCloud setup hack for Windows XP:
Download iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
Open iCloudSetup.exe file with WinRar or 7-Zip and extract.
Navigate to and open the iCloud.msi or iCloud64.msi (for 64bit systems) with Orca.
In the left table select LaunchCondition. Then change in the right table “VersionNT> = 600” to “VersionNT> = 200” and Save.
Run modified iCloud.msi and install.
Run iCloud Control Panel, located in the Windows Control Panel, and set up as you want.
Have fun!

Icloud Control Panel Installation Error

Using Windos 8 and Outlook 2010
Things were working well and then iTunes stopped woking. I installed it and reinstalled it. No progress. I then uninstalled iCloud and reinstalled iTunes and it worked. Then I reinsatlled iCoud 2.1.2 and it refuses to complete the set-up with outlook. I tries iCloud 1.x as well. Same. I unstaleed everything including Offcie 2010 and deleted my primart .pst file (I use imap so its all on the server anyway). I even used a registry cleaner to really remove any traces of outlook and icloud. Reinsatlled Outlook and icloud but I still get stopped when I try to set up Mail, Contatcs, Calendars & Tasks. Bookmarks and Photo Stream are fine.
Any thoughts?

In order to get mine working in the same situation, I had to delete both the iCloud data file and the [email protected] e-mail account. Once that was accomplished, I was able to get the iCloud installer to close Outlook and install itself correctly. Trying to recreate the accounts again from within Outlook was not the solution and resulted in this error.

Hi,
In the Finder use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears when you do this.
Navigate to Containers/com.apple.soagent/Data/Library/Preferences
You will notice that many of the items are Aliases (to the Originals in ~/Library/Preferences).
But there are exceptions.
Delete (Drag to Trash) the com.apple.soagent.plist and com.apple.messageshelper.AccountInfoController.plist
Restart the Mac (I have not worked out is SOAgent launches when the Mac does).
Restart Messages.
If this does not work navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
In here find and Delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist
This will need a Restart of the app.
You will be asked Again for your Apple ID

ICloud Control Panel: "Couldn't sign in because of a server error."

iCloud Control Panel:
Installation of icloud control panel was successfull. After entering the correct Apple-ID and pw this error message appears: "Couldn't sign in because of a server error."
Firewall is deactivated.
It worked once after the command: "netsh winsock reset" in cmd.
Since then the issue reoccures so it's impossible for me to use things like Photo Stream.
So what might be the reason for this connection problem?
Thanks!
Johnny

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

I can not download Icloud control panel!

Can not find that sucker anywhere! I need to sync with my new ipad for work! Please advice? Thank you.

Sorry.. won't work on Windows Vista.

ICloud control panel 1.0.1

I see that Apple put out version 1.0.1 of the iCloud control panel yesterday, but I don't see a peep as to what issues it fixed. Does anybody know?

I know, no changelog anywhere? I'd like to know if UNCs are properly supported now for the paths so I can get it working with Windows Home Server.

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

I installed the latest version of icloud control panel (allegedly Windows 8 compatible) on my Windows 8 laptop. Installation successful, but on clicking on the icloud icon nothing happens. The same software worked on my Windows 7 PC.

Superb detail, thank you.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How can I resolve installer errors for iCloud Control Panel?

I tried to install the latest iCloud Control Panel setup from the web on my Windows PC but keep getting installer errors that prevent iCloud's configuration. Can anyone assist?

Hi Sharad,
Thank you for your reply.
Since my initial posting here, I've attempted a few more installations. Each time a file from /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ would appear with the same error DF024, and it was always an alias. So each time I would replace the old alias with a new manually created alias pointing to the same original as the old alias. Sure enough, when I relaunched the installer, error DF024 with the old alias no longer appeared, but a new error DF042 with another alias from the same directory did appear. Then I manually replaced all aliases found in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ directory with new ones I created.
Upon rebooting and relaunching the installer program, the program did not stop at around 12% as consistently it did up until now. Instead, it progressed to 80% before it stopped and reported a huge number of new errors. Most of them pertain to the inability to roll back the installation it had attempted. No files from /Library/Application Support/Adobe/ssc/ appeared in the new log report.
To gain a better understanding of the logs, I downloaded AdobeSupportAdvisor and tried using it, but it referred me to online solutions that weren't relevant to my situation (i.e., one mentions Photoshop CS4 and I've never installed CS4).
I also tried following the articles from the Adobe knowledgebase:
cspid_84451: Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6
which is fine if you only have a few errors, and
cspid_83481: Installation, launch log errors | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CCM
which doesn't list error DF024.
At this point I've decided to not not make anymore attempts without some expert guidance.
The log file seem too large to post here. If you would like review the log, I can perhaps post it on www.pastebin.com unless you can suggest a better way. Please let me know.

I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

Trying to download icloud control panel - only getting so far. Got message: The installer encountered errors before iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at ltr time, pls run again.

First time on here... so not sure if doing correctly.
I'm tryng to download icloud control panel to my PC (have Windows 7 - so should be ok). I only get so far - 2 times I've tried it. Keep getting message:
The installer encountered errors before iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 could be configured.
Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
huh?

As I mentioned before you need to start the iTunes installation, then do NOT allow it to complete. In other words go all the way to the point that the installer extract the installation files, then STOP right there.
Now look for the temp folder and the files I mentioned in my initial posting. If you don't find the temp folder it may be because you have "Do not show hidden files and folder" selected under "View Tab" in the "Folder Options". You may need to unselec it. If you don't know about hidden files and folders in Windows XP take a look here: http://txpress.blogspot.com/2007/05/show-hidden-filesfolders-in-windows.html
Another possibility is that you may have a different path for your temp folders. To find out where you temp folders are located please do the following:
- Right click on "my computer"
- Select the "Advanced" tab
- Click on "Environment Variables"
Then look for the path for both variables "TEMP" and "TMP" take note of the path and check them out.
Or you may just go to a DOS Prompt and type the following commands:
1 - %temp% and hit enter
2 - %tmp% and hit enter
to both of these commands you will get a reply such as:
'c:\temp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or bath files.
So by looking at the reply you can see that my temp folder is c:\temp
The above is the temp folder on my machine which I've customized to my own use. Your machine may be different.
I suggest you check for the iTunes temp folder inside both your temp folders locations "TEMP" and "TMP" as they may be in different locations.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you allow the iTunes installation to complete you will NOT SEE the iTunes temp folder and files because it will be deleted as soon as iTunes processes the installation.
Hope it helps.

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.
