Help please, iCloud for Windows - Outlook default profile setup and configuration I have been fighting an install of iCloud for Windows for weeks. No matter which Windows user is selected when installing iCloud for Windows, when it comes time to integrate with Outlook, it aborts and says "Outlook doesn't have a default profile defined" which is poppycock. Outlook only has one profile and it is the default. The last time I did this was years ago, the last time I bought a new machine. Back then you downloaded iCloud for Windows from Apple, now you download from Microsoft which my gut is telling me is part of the problem. As long as it was Apple intellectual property it worked. I suspect Microsoft felt they needed iCloud under their roof...I'm frustrated. I have created new profiles in Outlook and set them as default, added all email account to the new profile only to have iCloud abort again. I need help please. This feels like a bug, a bug that I am stuck in, a bug that I suspect other users have experienced. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
