I have been trying to get iCloud to install on my PC for a long time. Same thing happens every time. It almost finishes then install, then tells me that something unexpected happened and undoes everything that it has done for the install and shuts down. I have tried to download iCloud from the website and from my iTunes on my PC, same thing either way. What could be causing this kind of issue?
iCloud-OTHER, Windows 7, iCloud won't install
You have set up the iCloud account via an iOS device or a Mac, correct?
If so, what is the exact error message?

It says this: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
When I click on the "ok" in that window everything just ends and I get a screen that says iCloud for windows installer error window that says: the installer encountered errors before iCloud for Windows could be configured. Your system has not been modified. to retry these operations again at a later time, please run the installer again.
All I can do from there is click finish to shut down the installer. This HAS to be at least the 10th time I have tried to install iCloud on my PC and I get the same thing every time.
I have the same issue...Windows 7. Have turned off my Anti-Virus - no go. Have tried to download and install from Windows Explorer - no go. What else can we try?
May I ask what this is first Gail from Maine?
Go to c: drive/program files/common files/apple/internet services - Select all the folders in "Internet Services" and delete all the system will allow you to delete. Then run the Apple Software Update program. It worked for me.
Well that one didn't work either, maybe I didn't get everything I needed to deleted from Internet Services. There were 3 still in there that it wouldn't let me delete. Thanks though Dolaugh.
girl from maine What was that link that you sent? Sorry always a bit apprehensive to open something I don't know what it is supposed to be.
It's harmless - a "Let Me Google That For You" link, with the search term: icloud won't install on windows....
You may find your answer in the list that comes up. And good for you that you are cautious - better to be safe and virus-free 🙂
