iCloud won't install on Windows 1809 October 2018 Update?

download and install iCloud version 7.6. If there is any functionality issue after setup then find the icloud.exe file in Programme file (x86) common file/apple right click and run icloud.exe in compatability mode Windows 8 then apply. This also solves compatability issues with Outlook 365 'default profile issue'

In the meantime you can install iCloud 7.6 if you find it on the internet, installs fine on 1809.

As I previously suggested, better stay with 7.6, as there are incompatibilites with later versions, see below from mspowersuser:

Apple has identified an incompatibility with iCloud for Windows (version 7.7.0.27) where users may experience issues updating or synching Shared Albums after updating to Windows 10, version 1809. Users who attempt to install iCloud for Windows (version 7.7.0.27) on Windows 10, version 1809 will see a message stating that this version of iCloud for Windows isn’t supported, and the installation will fail.

To ensure a seamless experience, Microsoft is blocking devices with iCloud for Windows (version 7.7.0.27) software installed from being offered Window 10, version 1809 until this issue has been resolved. We recommend that you do not attempt to manually update using the Update Now button or the Media Creation Tool from the Microsoft software download website until this issue is resolved.

Next Steps: Microsoft is working with Apple to provide a compatible version of iCloud for Windows 10, version 1809 in an upcoming release.

the download of the 7.6 installer you have is either corrupt/incompelte or the behind-the-scenes temporary files/folders is incomplete/partial or still has the partial failed 7.7 installer files.

often you need to clean your temporary folders/files before rebooting and retrying the installer. using something like ccleaner free or the built-in windows disk cleanup: Delete temporary files using the Disk Cleanup utility (Windows 7 and Vista)

I have now gone to the Programs and Features in the Control Panel, did the repair on all Apple components, re-downloaded the iCloudSetup.exe, ran it as Administrator and this time all went well - iCloud was installed correctly. Many thanks again iglTums for your great advice!

I spoke with Apple technical Services at length and was informed that they are aware of the problem and are working on a solution. A fix for this issue should be issued through an iCloud update soonest.

i already found a solution for my problem. for all if you have same problem with me please follow instruction as inform at this link : If you see a 'Windows Installer package' error message when you try to reinstall or remove Apple software - Apple Suppor…

after i follow instruction from that link, still i do installation using icloud 7.7 and follow sugestion from "iglTums" by changing the registry.

thank you all.

The view from this mspoweruser is simply scapegoating, non-sense finger pointing...as it was the first release of Windows 1809 was a disaster which stood for several weeks (until Oct and Nov patches came out). It's more likely that Apple tries to protect its user by not letting user with Windows 1809 installed. Nonetheless, the simple trick of pretending on Windows 1803 worked well and now both of them (1809 with Nov patches and Icloud 7.7) work well together.

Try this solution that worked in my case (Windows 10 Home 64-bit v1809)

1. Open Registry Editor: Win+R | regedit
2. Navigate to the registry path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
3. Temporarily modify these 3 registry keys:
   • CurrentBuild set value to 17134 (instead of 17763)
   • CurrentBuildNumber set value to 17134 (instead of 17763)
   • ReleaseId set value to 1803 (instead of 1809)
4. Install iCloud: iCloudSetup.exe | when finished, do not restart yet
5. Restore initial values of the 3 keys (step 3)
6. Restart PC and complete setup of iCloud

For Windows 10 in 32-bit version, the path is: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

...Welcome back to the clouds 🙂

Following the excellent instructions from iglTums, I managed to install iCloud on Windows 1809. However, the Photo Stream doesn't sync photos from my iPhone. I tried logging off and on again, changing the location of the folders, but nothing helped. Any ideas?

the trick works, but it 's not the first instance it finds. nonetheless, apple has a newer version, hopefully you don't have to do that.

I worked with Microsoft techs and the best response I got was that since 1809 is beta, Apple hasn’t created a fix yet.

Thanks a lot! That cleared the way for the installation. However, in my case it ended with the following message: "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". Finally, the process was rolled back and aborted - iCloud not installed. Any ideas why?

For some reason my last post about this didn't appear... anyway:

I tried the original fix, although this fooled the installer the installation rolled back right at the end (problem with installer package).

I then tried removing Bonjour and all the other Apple related apps. Still no joy.

Tried downloading and installing iCloud 7.6 - same problem - install package error at the end of the installation.

Hopefully Apple will get a fix sorted soonish!

Can someone give me a quick primer on navigating to that HKLM header? I have done a search in the registry, typed in that entire string exactly as it's written: HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and the search comes up with nothing. I am running Windows 10 Home 64 bit v 1809. (And, like others, iCloud still worked fine after I upgraded to v 1809, but it will not do a fresh install. )

thanks
