The adobe installer (CreativeCloudSet-Up.exe) was stuck at 2%, "Trying to connect to the server..."
With some help from support I was able to install creative cloud using a file that didn't need to connect to adobe during installation.
However after signing in to adobe creative cloud, the program immediately says:
"Unable to reach Adobe servers.
please check your firewall settings, ensure that the time settings on your computer are correct, and try again."
So it seems like this is the same problem.
OS: windows 8.1 64bit
What I've tried so far:
run using an administrator account.
run with firewall and windows defender off.
removed all of the entries from the hosts file.
What is the problem?
