How to convince Apple definitively that I don't want to install iCloud?

Question

I run iTunes (v. 12.x) and keep getting an annoying pop-up asking me to install iCloud.

There's no option to say "no" definitively. Is there a way to get this to stop without uninstalling iTunes and/or the Apple software updater? (This is almost as annoying as the default install option for Safari that Apple has done in the past, as well as not having an installer option not to put a shortcut on my desktop).

EDIT: I determined that the dialog box belongs to iTunes. That is, you can't switch to iTunes without this dialog box blinking (and beeping).

Answer 1

If you click on "Remind me later" two times, it will change to "No thanks" on the third prompt:

You won't get "No thanks" if you always click on the [X] to dismiss the dialog box.

The prompt won't happen again after clicking "No thanks".

Unfortunately, I was unable to determine where in the filesystem or registry iTunes stores the setting to display the popup for installing iCloud.

Go to start/Programs/Apple Software Update and check for updates... It will (of course) offer you iCloud for Windows again. Check it off, then go up top of the window to "Tools" and select "Ignore Selected Update(s)"... Done.

Apple Software Update > Edit > Preferences.

Set update frequency to Never.
