iCloud uninstall/upgrade error 2343

I, too, am having the same problem. Upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 365, now cannot uninstall or upgrade iCloud to version 5. (Actually, can't even repair existing iCloud installation).

Obviously downgrading Office is not an acceptable solution.

This process definitely worked. The only suggestion I would make is to use a 3rd party registry editor that is capable of bulk changes/deletions - there are tons of iCloud-related entries in the registry.

Thanks kkecher!

WTH?!! Surely that's not the only possible solution!

I think there certainly is a better way - Apple could fix the issue in the iCloud app. I've been fighting this issue since I upgraded to Office 2016 Beta several months ago, and removing Office is not an option I'm willing to choose. So using this quick process resolved the problem and iCloud is once again working correctly.

When will Apple or MS have a fix for this I'm on Windows 10 and Outlook 2016 and will not uninstall Office that's ridiculous, and a stupid fix. When can this problem be fixed by Apple. Its a bug that needs attention Now.

From what I've read in previous posts/replies there appears to be a round-about-solution to the issue. As far as I'm concerned, I shall not go about uninstalling, installing, removing, adding, replacing, or anything else, until Apple or MS (or both) gets their IT geniuses to release a fix. Done. And what's comical is that I get alerts to upgrade...—HA!

I have Windows 10 and have that error 2343 when trying to first update my icloud for windows to the 5.0-so I figured to take it all out clean the system and reboot-did that and icloud itself remains and will not come out so that I can reinstall it. I cannot even open it (which is why I first opted to redo it).

Cannot use that Microsoft fix as I tried and they say it is not for windows 10.

I would appreciate any help-as I have an ipad that I like to synch up to my computer-cannot do now with all these problems-first time I have encountered any of these problems with the icloud.

how do i do that? (The emulation part)

Same here. Error 2343.

Windows 10 Home. iCloud 4.1.1.53. Office 2013 & 2016.

**** software. Why don't they release an uninstall tool?

Alas ... that is NOT the question! The question IS why can't Apple release an updated version of their iCloud for Windows software that will install smoothly without the errors that we have seen and persistently reported since release of version 4?

We don't want to be forced to uninstall critical software to do this .. and we (at least I) do not think I should have to be a programmer to follow this person's or that person's (albeit well meaning) multi-step white hat work-arounds.

Apple ... please just focus on the issue and program a solution.

I agree. I'm not uninstalling anything. That's absurd. It's Apple's software, so it's their problem. They need to fix it. I'm not doing anything until that happens.

I am having the same problem with the update to iCloud 5.0. I have Outlook 2016 64bit installed through Office 365 Business. This is definitely something I think Apple needs to fix. I shouldn't have to revert to a lesser version of Outlook to make iCloud work.

Estou tendo o mesmo problema com o update para o iCloud 5.0, outlook 2016. Erro 2343. A Apple tem que resolver isso urgente

it's a pain the backside but this solution works !! Thanks goes to the poster.

I found a solution that worked: I used a third party uninstaller, in this case IObit, which is free.(http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php, but there are also other unistallers) I used that to uninstall iCloud. The 'Powerful Scan' option, which starts automatically if a normal uninstall does not work, was able to uninstall it. I could then install the new version of iCloud. I hope this works for you, too.

I will not uninstall Office, either. MIcrosoft and Apple needs to work together if they want people happy. 😐
