Error Code: 0x80073CF9, Couldn't Install Forza Horizon 3 on PC

I just bought Forza Horizon 3 for PC and am unable to download it. Everytime I try to download it, it gives me an error "Couldn't Install, we will try again shortly". 

I'm installing it on a external hard drive with 800Gigs free, tried using wsreset, run as administrator to clear Windows Store Cache, to no avail. I tried installing it on another drive, but the same error pops up.

I've also followed Microsoft's solution to run the trouble shooting app "Appsdiagnostic10", it found a problem, "Windows Store Cache may be damaged", and it was fixed by the troubleshooter, but even after that, trying to download Forza Horizon 3 DOES NOT WORK.

Would appreciate any help/answers.

    Hello guyz i was facing this problem since 3 days and finally fixed it there are videos that say to add lines in cmd create folders and stuff but nothings works! I now know how hard is it to face problems/errors and here is my sollution

    Here is a fix for it :

    Unfortunately u must install a new windows on ur pc

    1: comepletely Format drive C(or wherever u install ur windows) and then install again on c after formating

    2:After windows is comeplete make sure you update it to the latest 

    3:Just after that start download your game (Forza Horizon 3) But make sure you install it where you just installed your new windows 

    Well thats it and it will be just fine that worked for me 100% 

    Hope this fix works For you
