I'm trying to install LibreOffice on a machine running a Korean version of Windows XP. I don't know Korean. I haven't used Windows with any frequency in many years, so I'm pretty lost.
When I run the installer, it shows up in Korean. But, I want to customize the installation, so I need the installer to be in English. Googling took me to this page, where I found an example command to run the installer in Gaelic, which I modified for my system as follows:
msiexec /i LibO_3.6.1_Win_x86_install_multi.msi TRANSFORMS=:1084
This works, except that I know less about Gaelic than I do about Korean. The help page provided a link to a page where I could look up the ID codes. From that page, I determined that the correct code was 1033
for US English and 2057
for UK English. When I substituted the code, I got an error message. Here's the messages as translated by Google, followed by the original:
Transform can not be applied.Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.
?? ??? ??? ? ????. ??? ?? ??? ???? ?????.
I can't very well search on a machine translation, so I don't know where to go from here.What is the problem? How can I make the installer operate in English? Alternatively, how can I change XP to display its interface in English, while keeping full functionality for typing in Korean?
