Guys, i just wanted you all to know that i finally got my update installed.

Here's what i had to do...

ONE: since the installer was telling me it couldn't complete/apply the update for me due to my "current language selection", i checked a couple things out.

ONE-a: i reInstalled XX5 to see if it gave me an option to select a language... it did not.
ONE-b: i checked my system language and it was set to ENGLISH (Canadian). On a whim, i changed this to ENGLISH (American).

Low and behold, the installer completed its task, finally.

This tells me then that the installer does not recognize the ENGLISH (Canadian) language setting in Win7. This may be something worth the developers of these installer apps looking into. It should only be looking for ENGLISH... not a select 'version' of English.

Hope this helps anyone else having this issue.

l8r folks.

Mark...
