Can't install English version

Post by audacityg342 » Wed Jul 14, 2010 6:42 pm

Hello,

I installed 1.2.x and 1.3.x when installing, I accidently selected French. I have uninstalled, rebooted, used REGEDIT to search for Audacity entries and deleted them in registry.
I have deleted program files.

However, I can't get an English version to reinstall - please help.

Thank you.

Some information you missed out - which operating system you are using,

For Audacity 1.3.12 on Windows, you need to edit the Preferences file (audacity.cfg) which is in this location:
  • Windows 98/ME: WindowsApplication DataAudacity
  • Windows 2000/XP: Documents and Settings<user name>Application DataAudacity
  • Windows Vista and 7: Users<user name>AppDataRoamingAudacity
While Audacity is closed, open the audacity.cfg file in a text editor such as NotePad and find the lines:

Code: Select all

[Locale]
Language=fr
Edit the second of those two lines so that it reads:

Code: Select all

[Locale]
Language=en
Save the file (make sure that windows does not add ".txt" to the file name, it must be called audacity.cfg)
