Installing Captivate in another language

From what I have gathered on the Adobe Forums, it is impossible to install an Adobe software in a language different from the one your Windows interface is in... this is really annoying since I can't change the language of my Windows and I need to work with an english version of Captivate (I'm french but I need to help users all over the world and it's a little complicated if we don't have the same interface).

Does anyone have an idea or a hack to bypass that limitation?

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

    Really cannot help you then. Hope someone from Adobe pops in, because this is something I don't understand. I suppose you have a French OS.

    It turns out a serial number is only valid for one particular language (or set of languages). Seriously?? What is the point of that?? That is complete and utter non sense.

    Are you sure? For the moment I have an OS in the same language as Captivate but previous versions (5.5, 5)  I have installed on a Dutch OS as well at home as at college, whereas Captivate is an English version (there is no Dutch version available). This seems really strange, because that should mean that a lot of users were totally excluded, those that do not have CP available in their own language.

    Well... Let me explain what I have done exactly.

    I have downloaded Captivate 6 (asking for the English version) and everytime I start the installation, the only languages I can choose from are French or Canadian French! What's more, I have checked the installation folder and the English package is there, I can see it!!

    I don't get it...
