Default Installing Japanese Software To UK Machine

I have been trying to install some ecu mapping software to my laptop today.

i can download the file fine, but when i try to install it, i get an error




now i have installed language packs, i have tried to set everything to "jap spec" but it still will not work

to be honest i am beginning to suspect that it is simply not suitable for UK XP systems but i am assured that it is.

the vendor took my number at approx 2pm and said they would ring me back, but never rang back so i am no further forward.

i am not fussed about the actual software actually being in japanese, i just want it to install!!??

i have been trying since 12 o`clock and beginning to get a little pissed off with it!

any ideas

got this sorted, by using pirated software

its pathetic that i have paid nigh on £200 for a official dongle/lead and software download serial number, and then i cant install the software because i dont have a japanese copy of windows xp

i have a legitimately downloaded installation file that is unique to my £200 worth of cash serial number, and i cant do anything with it.

somebody who copied an already extracted installation file mailed me a copy over, the best part is that you can not even use the software without the lead/dongle anyway? so why bother region locking it and then letting distributors sell it in the uk
