Reinstall Onedrive desktop app after uninstall on windows 10



My OneDrive was giving me a hard time, so I wanted to reinstall it. I uninstalled it from my system, went to the Microsoft website to download again and reinstall... Some genius at Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to check my OS on and if it was windows 10, congratulate me on the fact that I already have OneDrive installed out of the box... and provide me with no way to actually download the installer again.. Great.



NOT great news, Microsoft!



The "Start OneDrive" button doesn't do anything because OneDrive is no longer installed




So does anyone know how I can download the OneDrive Desktop app (the one that lives in the system tray and creates a sync folder, not the one from the Windows store) again?


Answer



OneDriveSetup.exe is located under Windows\SysWOW64, per Winhelponline.
