I'm getting the very same error as you...

@CrazyKats @Dennis5mile 

uninstalled it and downloaded fresh Canary web installer, at the end of the install it shows me this error:

[#5]

Same here @HotCakeX . Tried half a dozen times. Goes to 50% and gives error. I am on windows build 18363.356.

[#6]

Yeah, that error code is the same code as the first one listed of the 2 error codes we are getting..

Trying to download and install Edge canary in Windows Sandbox also fails with the same error.
now i'm sure no uninstall leftovers is preventing reinstallation.
I'd suggest not uninstalling your Edge cause you wouldn't be able to install it again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep same here. I even uninstalled (saved my UserData folder so wouldn't lose anything) and reinstalled Edge Canary before coming on this forum, and got the same error message screen. I went into Windows Updater and that worked fine so I know it's not our end. Probably something to do with Microsoft's side of things with their downloader or updater. 

[#9]

Must be on the backend. I just smilied them a screenshot @HotCakeX .

[#10]

@HotCakeX  Yup, got the same error trying to update. Gave it a couple more tries and now it says I'm on the lastest - Version 78.0.274.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit). So I have to assume the issue is on the Microsoft side of things and they've pulled/stopped the lastest version.

[#11]

yep, same here, now says on the latest version...

Dennis5mile

[#12]

same here!

[#13]

Because they removed the problematic update, i could reinstall Edge canary again from Internet.

[#14]

Same here. I was able to re-install now. 

[#15]

That's good

[#16]

@HotCakeX @Elliot Kirk 

Wonder if they got this problem fixed since there was no post on what happened.... 

Dennis5mile

[#17]

They fixed it by removing the update from the server. have to wait for the next one.

[#18]

@HotCakeX  FWIW, I just updated with no issues.

[#19]

@HotCakeX 

Version 78.0.276.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) just released

Sync is still stuck at retrying..

[#20]

Mine is on .276 with no problems @HotCakeX .

[#21]

Hi, yup it got fixed today for me too

[#22]

One thing that I noticed during the update troubles yesterday was that the ellipsis menu was replaced by a green (or yellow, I can't remember) icon that told me that an update was available. First time I've seen that. Love the idea. Saves me from having to go to Help and Feedback/About MS Edge every time.@HotCakeX .

[#23]

@Jacques Van de Meerssche If you want you can set edge://settings/help (type it in) as your startup page (in settings than startup tab to set it). With that every time you enter Edge browser for the first time or reentering after closing out all tabs it will automatically load that page and check for updates each time opening the browser (and let you know the current version). I have that set as my startup page for that reason.

[#24]

Yeah, google chrome does that too, i wish i could modify the update checking cycle

[#25]

The way it worked yesterday was the best of both worlds to me. I get to keep my original newsfeed homepage while Edge must have in some way checked for updates in the background and notified me of the availability @ItalianAce . Wish I'd taken a screenshot.

[#26]

@Jacques Van de Meerssche Well you can run multiple startup pages along with that one. I have that one startup page because I don't have any other specific pages to open too. Technically Edge does check for updates when you enter the browser, and Edge has a scheduler set in your task schedule to do the same:
