Installing Palm Desktop in a language of choice

The Treo 680 ships with a CD that contains Palm Desktop(among other things). Insert the CD into your computer’s drive, and Autostart automatically begins to install Palm Desktop in the language of your Windows installation.

However, if your Windows is German but all the rest of the apps are English, an English version of the desktop probably will be more useful. But the Autostart menu doesn’t give you a choice.

The trick needed to install a language of your choice is easy. Instead of using the Autostart window, right-click on the CD-ROM drive ion My Computer. Then, navigate to H:Language_Selector and run LanguageSelector…

You can now choose the language of choice!
