Switch FM10 from French to English version

My IT department had to install FrameMaker 10 on a virtual machine for me, but they used the version from our Montreal office, which has the French language interface. How can it be switched to the English version? There doesn't appear to be any way of doing it though the GUI as far as I can tell. Do they have to uninstall and reinstall it? Or can they just rerun the installer and switch it?

Thanks

Keith

    Keith,

    Unfortunately the only way to get another UI language is to uninstall the current FM and install anew with the correct UI language chosen in the installation dialgoue.

    The UI language switch is a long lasting requirment though...

    Just curious...do you need to uninstall, or might you install in a separate directory?

    it will probably have to be an uninstall due to limited licenses.
