Can't install package control in any way

#1

Sublime text was hanging, so i uninstalled it.
Now when i reinstalled it, i can’t install package control, Not even manually by pasting the link in the console.
it keeps saying

When installing automatically it says:
Error installing Package Control: HTTPS error encountered, falling back to HTTP - <urlopen error [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions> Error installing Package Control: HTTP error encountered, giving up - <urlopen error [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions>

And when installing manually it says: `File “./python3.3/urllib/request.py”, line 1248, in do_open
File “./python3.3/http/client.py”, line 1065, in request
File “./python3.3/http/client.py”, line 1103, in _send_request

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Seems like a firewall issue.
Try turning it off.

Open your Packages folder (Menu: Preferences -> Browse Packages) and open command line on that folder and run the command:

git clone https://github.com/wbond/package_control "Package Control"

Don’t run this command, unless you are okay with running untested-prerelease code. Even if you are okay with that, you need to clone it into a folder named Package Control.

The supported way to install PC, if the Python inside of Sublime Text can’t reach packagecontrol.io, is to follow the Manual instructions at https://packagecontrol.io/installation.

I was in windows.
Terminal won’t have solved my problem.

For running this command on the cmd prompt or powershell handles the problem, with no problems. But you need to have git available on your system path.
