ICloud won't install

I have a Windows 7 machine and can't get iCloud to install. This is the error message I get:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
I have used Windows' "Programs and Features" to locate and remove any previously installed iCloud software, but there aren't any.
I have gone through my installation folders (Program Files and Program Files (x86)) to delete any previously installed iCloud files, but there aren't any.
I have downloaded this installation package several times via different sources (even diabling my firewall) and all result in this error message.
I have restarted the system several times after attempting installation and also after removing the downloaded packages.
I'm running the most current version of Windows 7 and have no pending updates. What have I missed?

There are a couple threads (per day? dozen in last week?) about installer issues.
Trouble is, if it doesn't happen with a clean install of Windows and iTunes etc, and you aren't using Norton or XYZ, and your BIOS was current.... motherboard drivers, and nothing you installed conflicts of course.
people do things over the life of an OS with patches, registry changes, how they maintain, what else is installed.
And I really doubt Apple does much if any testing for 3rd party issues.
Create a new partition for Windows for testing, does it happen there?
No, for me, I converted the other direction as I have strong doubts about Apple software testing, and why I try to avoid 10.5.0 or anything they put out ends in zero or even in one sometimes.

    Try quitting Pages on the iPad, restart the iPad -  and then see if the app works OK.
    To quit Pages - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation...

    I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation... What's causing this and how do I fix this?

    What is the latest iOS for iPad 2? Is it iOS 7 or can you update to 8?
    all I remember is that my iPad mini performed poorly under iOS 7. Try to update it to the very latest version. Also you will have to use iOS 8.1.3, because 8.1.2 is no longer signed in case you were trying to install that. You can get the latest IPSW from http://IPSW.me just enter in your device and it will forward you to the right Apple ios download link.
    Another thing is keeping your device memory free, if you have a 16 gig device, it's harder to keep space free. my iPad mini is 16 gig, but all I can ever keep free is 1 GB so I keep it at that. Turn off "iCloud photo sharing beta" and that will help a little bit. also when you do a restore from iTunes, don't restore your backup right away, see how it performs fresh, and then add your apps back in one at a time you might have to sacrifice photos and other personal things for performance.

  • My iCloud account was installed wrong no in or out mail

    MY iCloud account was installed incorrectly won't let me change primary server or edit email address

    Delete the account by going to Settings > iCloud.  You can then set it up again.

  • HT1338 Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install.  Anyone else have that problem?  How do i solve?  Can't move to I cloud until it is done.

    Apple sent me a disc for Snow Leapord so I could upgrade to Lion, but the disc won't install.  Anyone else have that problem?  How do i solve?  Can't move to I cloud until it is done.

    Hold c and reboot off the 10.6 disk, run the installer.
    If the machine your upgrading is the 2006, I'd highly advise you stay on 10.6.8
    It's a 5 year old machine, you're in the last life stages of that machine and 10.7 will push it right over the edge.
    10.6 is a GOOD upgrade for that machine, faster than 10.7 or 10.5.
    And 10.6 will run your 10.5 software, 10.7 will not.
    Get iCloud with a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, seriously.
    Your machine is too old to bother with Lion.
    Or else you can learn yourself and use this link to get back to Snow, good luck finding your 10.5 programs.

  • Windows Vista won't install Ipod

    Latest version of Itunes 7.4.2 has been installed, unfortunately Windows Vista has located Ipod mini in "other devices" in "Device Manager", but it won't install the Ipod. I've reinstalled Iteune three times and searched the Windows Vista disk, but with no luck.
    I'm on the verge of selling the ipod - any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks

    I suggest either getting a Mac or going back to Windows XP because Vista is known to have these problems.

  • My new blank hard drive won't install OSX from the disk?

    For some reason my Mac book pro won't install OS through the install cd or through the flash drives. It will load the disk but then freeze when I click install. It won't load through the USB either. I have done multiple diagnostics at the mac store and they tell me that my hd is bad. Twice the hd was fresh out of the box and installed that day. I spoke to a supervisor via phone when I called apple care and he told me that unless I have all apple parts in the computer they can't accurately diagnose the issue. It feels like they're trying to con me into paying double for a "apple hd". What can I do to get my computer working?

    I would purchase an external USB enclosure for the HDD. With the HDD in the enclosure, install OSX and then mount in your MacBook. If you continue to have problems, it could be a faulty internal SATA cable.

  • ITunes won't install (at all) on my Windows 8.1 64 bit computer

    I've tried downloading iTunes for Windows 8.1 64-bit computers and it won't install on my machine. I did everything like I think I was supposed to ... but nothing happens. In addition I've tried connnecting my iPhone 5S to a USB port ... nothing good happens. My computer recognizes the iPhone but it won't do anything with it. Also I've tried the suggestions from "windows 8.1 itunes wont recognize iphone: Apple Support Communitites" which entertains that I can open control panel ... find Device Manager and try to install new driver software from my disk ... with the suggestion that I 'browse' and find "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. ... and "Apple" does not exist under Common Files of either "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"
    So now what????

    What is the full text of the error message?
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • Creative Cloud Desktop app won't install error 207; Adobe server?

    Is there a problem with some of Adobe.com servers? My employer just purchased a CC subscription for my work Mac, and the CC Desktop App won't install. I've restarted my Mac, quit all Adobe products, redownloaded the DMG file (creativecloudinstaller.dmg), and checked to make sure my firewall is off. But I still get an error message #207. My DNS servers are set to the same ones that other Macs in my group are set to, and they have CC on their Macs.
    I don't know if it's related, but I can't load "adobe.com" in my browser, either. All other webpages are fine, including (obviously) this forum.
    I am using OS 10.8.5, connected via Ethernet, and my browser is Chrome.

    Thank you for your help, Ned. I also called Adobe help via phone, and he confirmed that my company's server needed to whitelist several Adobe sites. The company had revised their servers not long ago, and evidently did not transfer their old whitelists (which is why my coworkers had previously been able to access Creative Cloud). The phone support person emailed me a helpful list that I could forward to our company's tech support center—but the link you supplied in your response was also perfectly relevant.

  • CS4 master Collection won't install on XP

    After paying the big bucks for this CS4 Master Collection software, I can't get it to install. I have 1.5 gig of ram, all slots full. Will it not install with that? The install won't let me install on a drive with 123 gig of free space, the install pop-up says there's not enough room please change location. I change it to another drive with 197 gig of open space and it won't install.
    Customer service is closed until Monday...I'll be back in class and don't get out until 8pm every frickin weekday.
    I'm working on a sony the runs 3.20 ghz with the 1.5 gig of RAM. I just reformated the harddrive but windows takes up the C: partition but the extention is 123 gig, and I have several other drives (with hundreds of gigs open) I've tried to put it on....it says they're too small.
    I've tried to install the trial version and it does the same thing. I'm at my wits end with this!
    If there's only one out there willing to help me I would really appreciate, because Adobe doesn't seem to give a fig about helping me.

    How much free space is on the C:/drive? Without a lot of room you'll have a hard time installing any program even if you install it to a different drive. Windows needs lots of free space on C: for installing applications.
    If you have little free space, then whoever set up that machine did a very poor job of it. There is no benefit at all to installing applications on a different drive than the operating system.

  • OVI Won't install on my XpressMusic 5730 (hangs at...

    I am trying to install the OVI application on my phone so that I can download apps and games but it won't install. After the install it starts up and I see the loading screen but that is all that I get. I do get an icon for OVI but if I try to use it it just does the same thing. Does anyone know how to resolve this? I have tried doing a hard reset and that does not resolve the issue at all.

  • I am trying to install Mavericks on my McbookAir, but it won't install, saying that my hd is used for time machine backups. I have an external HD connected to my mbAir that I'm using for time machine.

    2012 Macbk air, with OSX 10.8.5. See my question above. Mavericks won't install on my Air's HD, says that both the HD - AND - the external HD (which has a different name from the laptop HD) are used for time machine backups. I've deleted my time machine plists, restarted, repaired permissions, turned time machine off, repeatedly selected the external drive in time machine preferences. HELP. (Install went perfectly on my desktop Mac, which also has an external HD for time machine).

    I need to add that the only place I have the "Backups.backupdb" folder is on my backup external disk, and it's not on my HD    :-(    . If it were, I'd delete it!
