I went in manually to uninstall OneDrive, rebooted the machine and
checked that it is definitely gone, but the install refuses to work.
Anyone seen this problem or got any other ideas?
TIA

May I suggest that you read this helpful article, Chris?

Good luck! :-)

Ah, no.

The problem is, the reason it's hard to craft an answer, is because
OneDrive has four different versions, and the software could
either be Win32 for it, or it could be a Metro App.

The flowchart for fixing, may depend on what one is being used.

Ah. Thanks. I didn't realise the distinction. This is a work-related
OneDrive so probably the O365 version.

If it’s ‘business’ Office/Microsoft365, then the odds are good that
this is the wireless problem.



Onedrive, before it had these versions, used to get into install
loops, and beat the **** out of the computer. Eventually I think
some code was added so it wouldn't do that more than three or
four times. Then the next day, it would do it again.

I don't recollect there being a separate installer to download.

there are _different_ installers, depending on OneDrive flavor.

It just popped up in the notifications.

Sounds more and more like the wireless problem.



If it was coming in as a KB (which it probably isn't), you could
get it from the Catalog server and do it by hand. But I doubt
life is that simple.

For Metro Apps there are some commands for removing and installing,
and there's also some stuff in the GUI for the Apps section.
Equivalent to Programs and Features, so you don't have to use
the command line.

The problem space at the moment, is too large to answer, and the OPs
problem might well have resolved on its own by now.

Nope. Your link above gives me an idea of how to fix it. Maybe.

Good luck...
