I have tried almost everything short of reinstalling my windows since I have a lot of games and files I don't want to lose, every time I start the download for SoT it loads for a second, starts downloading, and gives me the 0x80073CF9 error. I have tried troubleshooting on the Microsoft website and on the Microsoft store itself, obviously, its Microsoft so no help there. This issue is persisting for around a year now and it is starting to disgust me that I cannot simply even install a game I paid my hard-earned money for. Anyone have any ideas as to why I have this problem?

Hi
Have exactly the same error. It says, something was not compatible with the windows 64 bit version (but I can‘t imagine somebody still running it on 32 bit)
