Creative Cloud Installer Can't Connect to Server

I've downloaded the Creative Cloud Setup, but the installer can not connect to the server. My internet connection and LAN settings are fine. I've deleted the OOBE folder. I'm using a Windows 8 PC.

Hello Austin,

in this case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool".

Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)

1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:

2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.

3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)

I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.

Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations

4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

Hi Hans,

Adobe Creative Cloud is not (and has never been) installed on this computer. My issue is that the installer can not connect to the servers. I've already tried the cleaner tool, even though there are no products downloaded on this computer, I thought I would try it anyway. I've already used the chat, and have gotten "help" from three Adobe representatives, but no one has yet to solve this issue.

Hello Juanita,

sorry for misunderstanding. In this case I'll try to interest one of Adobe's competent employee to help you/us, please be patient for a while.

But maybe you can try too that one competent Adobe personnel takes care for your problems, by using forums search function with the keyword "staff".
