Does anyone know how to install and English IE on a Japanese XP OS. I tried
to delete the existing Japanese IE, install an English IE supplied by my
company but got an error message saying that a newe version was already
installed - means I could not delete the Japanese IE. I want to do the same
for MSN Messenger.
 
Larrjo,

I had successfully installed an English version of IE on a Japanese Win98.
WinXP Jap should be similar. However, since IE6 SP2 is tied with the OS
(WinXP), I think it will be a bit harder to install IE6 SP2 on a WinXP SP2
machine.

But for MSN messenger, just download the english version from:

http://g.msn.com/7MEEN_US/EN/SETUPDL.EXE (This is the english version)

Installing the English version of Msn messenger should work without any
problem, or at least it does on my Win98. :)

Post back the results! Or email me directly about the result! I'm interested
in knowing.
 
Greetings,

You won't be able to use the English Internet Explorer on Japanese XP (without using a MUI
version of XP that you can't actually get very easily).
