Installing French, German or Spanish language packs for use with SONAR 5 x64 version

The information in this article applies to:

• SONAR 5 Studio Edition
• SONAR 5 Producer Edition

At the time of this writing, the localized SONAR 5 installer will not install to an x64 system that uses non-English language packs. At present, Microsoft is only shipping Windows x64 in Japanese and English. If you wish to use another language of SONAR 5 x64 you currently need to apply a language pack to x64 English. This will remain an issue until Microsoft releases localized versions of Windows x64.

NOTE: These language packs don't apply to the 32-bit version of SONAR 5. To use 32-bit SONAR 5 in French, German or Spanish simply start the SONAR 5 installer from the install DVD, and then select the language of your choice.

If there's a chance you may wish to revert to the English versions of SONAR 5 x64 in the future, you should backup or rename the original Readme.rtf, TTSRes14.dll and Tip Of The Day.txt files before you proceed with the instructions below.
