Applocale is still works in windows 7 if you use xp compatibility mode their is also a tool called “Vistalizator” that can allow you to instal language packs in the basic and home premium versions of windows 7. You can also use SBapplocale if your good with the command line. But using a language pack switches your whole system to that. Jan 03, 2019 Turns out, the AppLocale installer needs to be run with administrator privileges in order to complete applocale installation successfully on Windows Vista or Windows 7. However, apploc.msi (or any other.msi) does not offer you a “Run as administrator” on the right click menu. AppLocale is a program that helps you run a non-unicode program in a different locale to what user’s windows system is currently running. For example, if you are using a version of Japanese version of Windows system, but you are trying to run a Chinese Version of particular software, AppLocale can help you on this regard.
A program launcher that lets you run applications that have language or region parameters (locale) that conflict with your system locale parameters without having to restart Windows.
Microsoft’s AppLocale can detect the language or region parameters of an application, and if those parameters conflict with the language/region settings of your system, it will run the application in a simulated, temporary “system locale” that is compatible with the application. This allows you to run the application without character-display issues or errors and without having to reset your computers locale settings or restarting Windows.
Features:
AppLocale works on many non-Unicode applications and doesn't require system reboot.
- Makes changing system locale quick and easy
- Detects locale (language and region) settings of applications
- Bypasses system locale settings
- Emulates non-Unicode locale settings for conflicting applications
- Wizard-like user interface
- Allows command-line arguments on application launch for added flexibility
A locale identifier consists of a set of identifier parameters that your computer uses to determine how to interpret and display characters on your screen. Your system has a locale, such as a country/region code (like the United States) and a language code (like English). If you tried to run software with a different locale identifier (say, Asia and Japanese), your computer would misinterpret the data and you would most likely see gibberish on menu and dialog text.
One solution to this problem is to change your system locale setting to match that of the software, then restart your computer. Of course, while the alien application would work fine now, all your applications with native locale settings would not.
AppLocale solves this problem by detecting the locale settings of your system and any application, and if there is a conflict, it will emulate the correct locale for the application, allowing you to run the software error free and without changing your system locale settings or restarting your computer.
Most new software uses Unicode encoding of characters, eliminating the need to translate the characters of software from different locales (regions and languages). AppLocale is, however, still a useful legacy utility for older non-Unicode software applications.
Hi,
You can try the following methods.
Method 1:
You may try to unregister Windows Installer, and then re-register Windows Installer and check if the issue persists. To do this, follow these steps:
a) On the start search box, type 'msiexec /unreg', and then press ENTER.
b) Then type 'msiexec /regserver', and then press ENTER
Method 2:
Try to run the application in administrator mode.
Right click on the ‘setup.msi’ or the ‘setup’ file and click on ‘Run as Administrator’
Method 3:
Try to initiate the installation from elevated command prompt
a) Download AppLocale setup installer: apploc.msi.
b) Open an elevated administrator command prompt by typing ‘Cmd’ on Start Search and then right click on ‘cmd’ and select ‘Run as Administrator’
c) Select Yes when asked to allow the program to make chances to the computer.
d) Change directory to the folder where you put the apploc.msi Windows Installer Package (with CD command).
