Troubleshooting Can't install Microsoft Edge (Windows 7)

[RaduGL]

Has anyone ever encountered this error on Windows 7?
I've tried with firewall off, KSC off, etc, it still can't connect.

Did you restart the PC after firewall and KSC off?

Make sure the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) is turned on

Restarted Windows with firewall off, nothing.
Checked BITS and it was already set correctly and running.
Weird, I can install any other browser but not this one.

A year ago, a ghacks.net article suggested only the Canary build was compatible with Windows 7 and 8.1. Not sure this would work for you as this is a dated article but you could consider installing the Canary build of chromium Edge.
