Upgrading v1.50 to 1.52

Upgrading requires the language packs to be reinstalled. However, the language pack I have is for version 1.50 and installing this after either upgrading or on a fresh 1.52 install does not work.

The language pack installer gets interupted for some reason and does not work.

Is there any way I can get around this, or do I specifically need the 1.52 language packs?

Thanks

At last, I have solved this problem...

You really don't want to know how I did this ... :-)

What I did was to run the Language Pack install and almost let it fail (I.e. run it until it unpacked its files - notably the .msi installation).

I then reversed engineered their install by opening in ISWI and then pondered through their rather poorly written install.

The solution was to hack the system registry and remove the keys in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\installshield\MSI\Languages.

Those held flags as to which languages are installed and this solved the problem - their install ran this time.
