Amazon Music Won't Install in Microsoft Store

Just got a new desktop with Windows 10.  Was very happy with the Amazon Music desktop app for Windows 7.  

When I attempt to download Amazon Music in the Microsoft Store, there is an install error.  I've tried restarting the computer, but it does not help.

Error Code: 0x8024801E

Has anyone encountered a similar issue, and can anyone provide suggestions or ways to fix this?  Very frustrating.

Thanks.

    Thank you for that information. As per checking, you are 1 feature update from the latest version of windows.

    Open cmd by searching "cmd" on the start menu, make sure to run it as administrator

    Execute this command on the command prompt

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Run these commands on the command prompt to restart windows update services

    net stop bits

    net stop cryptsvc

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop msiserver

    Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

    net start bits

    net start cryptsvc

    net start wuauserv

    net start msiserver

    After successfully executing the commands, I would suggest performing a clean boot to disable third party background services that may be interrupting with the windows update services

    1. Go to start menu/search msconfig
    2. On the system configuration window go to the services tab
    3. Tick on hide all microsoft service so that this won't be affected
    4. Choose to disable all services
    5. Next, go to the startup tab and on the window choose to open task manager
    6. Choose to disable each applications from starting up when computer is booting up
    7. Close task manager and hit apply then ok
    8. A prompt to restart the computer will show up, choose to restart

    This should restart the computer with minimal third party services starting up right after windows boots up. Once the system boots up. After this, install the app again.

    In the event that it still fails, I would suggest performing an in-place upgrade, this process overrides the system files which would fix corruptions or damages within the system files/packages while updating the system to the latest version of windows 10.

    To perform an in-place upgrade,

    1. Open this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...
    2. Select Download tool, and select Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
    3. On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
    4. On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
    5. After downloading and installing, the tool will walk you through how to set up Windows 10 on your PC.
    6. When Windows 10 is ready to install, you'll have an option to keep your personal files and apps, keep personal files, or to keep nothing during the upgrade
    7. The process would take a while and may consist of multiple reboots. Make sure that there won't be interruption within the process to make sure that everything would sort everything out

    Let me know how it goes. :)

    Hi,

    My name is Gary an independent advisor and I would be happy to help you out with your concern,

    First, make sure that your system is currently up to date.

    1. Go to start menu and open settings with the gear icon
    2. Open Updates and security settings
    3. Choose Windows update
    4. Click on check for updates

    Once you've gotten all the latest windows updates, you'll be able to download the latest store updates from the Microsoft store

    1. Go to start menu and open Microsoft Store
    2. Go to the app's settings on the upper right corner (the three dots)
    3. Choose Download and updates, then click on Get Updates

    In the event that it still occurs, I would recommend a repair install/in-place upgrade to override and fix system components while keeping your personal files and settings and set the system to the latest version of windows 10.

    1. Open this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...
    2. Select Download tool, and select Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
    3. On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
    4. On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
    5. After downloading and installing, the tool will walk you through how to set up Windows 10 on your PC.
    6. When Windows 10 is ready to install, you'll have an option to keep your personal files and apps, keep personal files, or to keep nothing during the upgrade
    7. The process would take a while and may consist of multiple reboots. Make sure that there won't be interruption within the process to make sure that everything would sort everything out
    

    Let me know how it goes. :)

    Gary, 

    I just noticed that I had written downloading was the issue.  The issue is actually installing the app.  This is what the error code is reflective of.  I just started using this computer, so windows is updated.  Thx.
