I'm trying to install Illustrator CC, but before starting to downloading appears a windows error, saying that: "You can install this product in the main directory of you computer. Change it.(ERROR 132)" I've tried in every folder in my PC and I can't install it. Please can you help me? Thank you

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download here:  Adobe CC 2015 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2015 Release | ProDesignTools

if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 

the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 

failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.
