icloud for windows installation error
This error seems to have been around for years, if I search for it I can find posts from 4-5 years ago and it's still not working.
Any chance Apple will resolve this, ever?

If iCloud for Windows 7.x doesn't download or install

Hi there, I’m running windows 11 and the version of iCloud I’m running is 13.4 which is currently the latest available through the Microsoft store so unfortunately I think your answer isn’t relevant to me.
I have tried just about everything so far except a rebuild of my OS which I think may be a bit too extreme for my liking.
All of my software is up to date, running latest build of Win11 and Office365.
I have removed all Apple software from my PC, run a reg cleaner and reinstalled. No success.
I have removed all of the MS Office suite, run a reg cleaner and reinstalled. No success.
I have done both above separately and also together. No success.
