Creative Cloud set up won't let me sign in

I got the Premiere Pro Free Trial (windows), so they first require me to install the Adobe Creative Cloud installer (set-up). I install that and it prompts a window which transforms my mouse pointer into a 'no' icon (see image). Please help 
(p.s. i faked the icon because it didnt appear in the screenshot)

Try resetting the CC App.
To reset the Creative Cloud desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:
Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the CC App:
