Windows 10: Error 0x80073715 installing iCloud

I have encountered this error when trying to install iCloud after being forced into a clean install of Windows 10.


Halfway through it comes up with the error and rolls back the install.


It seems that this is a common problem and there is a pile of gobbledygook on the web suggesting there is a hot fix available, but I cannot find where to get this hot fix from.


Does anyone have a solution, in plain English? I have installed the Visual C++ updates it says are required, but still keep getting the error.


Thanks

:)

  2. Were there any error messages?

No error messages on download but the below when trying to install





The is a problem with the Windows Installer package.

A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

Contact your support personnel or package vendor.

Error 0x80073715 in kb4058258


Hey Gaius,

Thanks a lot for reiterating the steps clearly for me.

So I followed them through, and got hung up at DISM w/ it stopping at 20%. (Note that fsr, there was not a single instance of KB4056892 when I started your steps)




Looked for a way to make it complete and found some threads related a bit to this one; here and here.

<With the network cable removed>
I resetted windows update (using the info from the first link), restarted, installed KB4073290 (via link in the second aforementioned link), restarted and ran DISM StartComponentCleanup. It completed at 100%!

Followed the rest of your steps to the letter. Restarting after the KB4058358 install, I found Windows Update was trying to download 2 versions of a 1709 update:





Also, my OS build was still reporting an incorrect version like .194 or something (not 16299.214) and there was no timestamp on the previously installed KB4073290, or KB4058358.

I then went through and followed the steps from the beginning. Upon having uninstalled KB4056892, of which there was only one instance, the DISM StartComponentCleanup completed successfully...at 20%...again.

I'm just going to wait and hope for a formal fix for this before I trash my system. If anyone knows of something I ought to do to let MS know I'm still having probs, I'd really appreciate the instruction.

Thanks again for trying to help, Gaius. Very kind of you!
