    I have exactly the same problem. Just a few questions maybe to find the solution together:

     

    - Did you have iCloud previously installed? Did you remove it (using the uninstaller or a specific program)? If you uninstalled, did you log out of iCloud?

     

    [I used Revo to uninstall, as the uninstaller didn't work, I didn't log out of iCloud]

     

    - Are you trying to install manually (download from the website) or through Apple Software update? Do you see the same error message in both cases?

     

    [I tried both, the error message is slightly different, when I install it manually it says a program that is executed as part of the installation has not been closed correctly - translation from Dutch, may be slightly different in "real English").

     

    I saw somewhere on a forum that someone said that you need Windows Media Player enabled to install it. I don't know, it doesn't work for me, but maybe it does for you...
