My computer is unable to install creative cloud or connect to adobe.com due 206 error.

Hello,

 

I’ve purchase a substance 3d painter subscription a few weeks ago.
With the aid of this web instructions and the AI I have been through all indepth steps to just install creative cloud.
I have deactivated antivirus and firewalls, I have connected the pc through my phone with data and router turned off, I have erased and renamed all the hidden folders, I have passed all the dobe uninstallers and cleaners, I have tried to directly download and install 3d painter through windows console or just connecting to adobe.com website. NONE OF IT WORKS ON MY PC.

So another thing I’ve tried is to download the substance painter package through my phone to bypass the CC installation process, hopefully to not need to connect with adobe servers.
The good news, the website actually works on my phone, so the problem is not my internet or my router. But the other problem is, that I cannot download the 3d painter .zip on my phone because it says that the app is for PC. So it only lets me to send myself a link that sends me towards a 404 page.

This is my last chance before cancel my subscription and trying to go through steam.

 

I purchased the subscription and I couldn’t use it. I request an offline installer or a solution that really works.
