I've installed Windows 10 and Office 2016. I also installed iCloud and every time I try to access it and synch with my Outlook 2016, a window pops up and says top Repair iCloud installation, then Restart. I've done this twice but still no go.
Is Outlook 2016 too new??? Or is it Windows 10???
Win 10 MSO Pro 2016
This entire experience has been strange. I am writing this on a Dell Latitude running Windows 10, Office 2016 and iCloud. It's been syncing perfectly for months and hasn't stopped one time. On the other hand, I have a hand-built desktop, with top of the line hardware running identical software and it hasn't worked with Office 2016 until iCloud 5.1. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason.
Good Luck
I'm not familiar with Click to Run, but after Googling it I think it is a genuinely different product (at least behind the scenes) so that may be your problem. However, I don't think it's true that Office 365 is necessarily Click to Run. I am using Office 365 (on a business subscription) and I simply downloaded and installed the whole Office suite, which as far as I can see is not Click to Run and is identical to a one-off purchase of Office 2016.
Well, I just uninstalled icloud 5.1 (one more time), rebooted, repaired office 365 (one more time), rebooted, reinstalled icloud, rebooted, and it now works with outlook. No error message when reconnecting with outlook etc.
All calendars, contacts, etc.
Will wonders never cease
I did the same thing yesterday and it worked fine but now Outlook freezes and cannot be restarted without rebooting even after Icloud was deleted from my PC... Message says the .ost file cannot be found.
I hadn't thought of the .ost versus .pst variable. I wonder whether that bears any relation to whether iCloud 5.1 works. I only use .pst, and iCloud 5.1 works.
Is there any way of controlling whether the data files are .pst or .ost?
Was this a Quick repair of Office or a Full Repair?
Just tried this using the Online repair for Office 365, and it still doesn't work...
From the Microsoft Office support pages:
"Click-to-Run is the technology used to install Office 365 subscription and most other Office 2013 and Office 2016 products. Windows Installer technology (MSI) is used to install the volume license editions of Office, like Microsoft Office Professional Plus and Microsoft Office Standard."

Office 365 subscriptions use Click-to-Run to install, but whether they are classed as Click-to-Run once they are installed, I have no idea...
Does anyone know anything about Click-to-Run?
Here's some more from a different link on the microsoft technet pages:
"Click-to-Run uses virtualization technology to run an Office product in a self-contained, virtual environment on the local computer. This isolated environment provides a separate location for the Office product files and settings to be stored so that they don’t change other applications that are already installed on the computer."
"Even though the Office product runs in a self-contained environment, the Office product can interact with the other applications that are installed on the computer. Macros, in-document automation, and cross-Office product interoperability will work. Click-to-Run is also designed to allow locally-installed add-ins and dependent applications to work with it. However, there is the possibility that some add-ins or other integration points with Office might behave differently or might not work when you are using Click-to-Run."

Seems like anyone who has got this working is just very lucky?

Was icloud uninstalled, rebooted, and a full repair done? that was my environment when it finally worked
Yep... completed your instructions one by one.
Right, I've now tried doing all this on my laptop which is running windows 10.
It works on there, so basically the issue is with windows 7.
Which is great work from Apple since 49% of PC's are still running Windows 7...
Compared to a combined 26% for 8,8.1 & 10...
My Add-in is ticked and the 5.1 still does NOT work for me. I am 64 bit Windows 10 and Office 365 with Outlook 2016 ... reported this issue months ago and was really hoping 5.1 would do the trick but no luck for me.
I also have Windows 10 and office 365 with outlook 2016.
I have done the installation of "icloud for windows 5.1" on 3 PC's.
On two PC's; afther the installation, i have to do a full repair of the Office 365. Then it was working.
On a third PC, i have to uninstall "icloud for windows 5.1" and afther then reinstalling it(icloud for windows 5.1), everything was working fine.
You can see below the last information concerning the required system configuration. Sorry, it is in french. I live in France.
Configuration système requise pour iCloud

Microsoft Windows 10
Calendrier,Contacts, Mail iOS 5 OS X Lion 10.7.5 •Windows 7

Also, I have the explanation that in my case it doesn't work. (Windows 10, Office 365 Outlook 2016 with Click and Run).
And It works with Windows 10, Office 365 2013, Outlook 2013.
I am waiting for a new version of icloud 5.2 Windows. May be not in 5 or more months !!!!
Is iCloud compatible with Outlook 2016?
