Instalation problems - "unknown string wanted"

[Wagner Moraes]

I try to install my downloaded version of CK but I kept receiveing a message that it'd install Victoria, which I also bought in the downloaded format.

I tried the following:

1) uninstalled my copy of Vic, and tried to reinstall CK;
2) cleaned the registry, and tried to reinstall CK;
3) deleted all files in my temp directory, and tried to reinstall CK;
4) downloaded a new copy of CK form the GamesGate Downloader, and tried to reinstall it;
5) reinstalled my copy of Victoria, and tried to reinstall CK;

Anyway I still received a message that if I'd continue I'd install Victoria instead of CK, and when the game started I got an error message of "unknown string wanted"

To solve this problem I changed the language in the control panel of the Windows from portuguese to english. AND IT WORKED!!!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yup that is a known issue.
Your Language settings must be set to English.

Sadly I just don't understand how to change the language of windows.

Using XP Home German

HELP

Here is what I did:

1) Installed CK allthough the machine called it Victoria
2) Went to the registry and renamed Paradox Entertainment/Victoria to Paradox Entertainment/Crusader Kings
3) Was now finally able to patch the game (1.05)
4) Went to the registry and changed the language key of Crusader Kings to English

BUT STILL I RECEIVE THE "UNKNOWN STRING" ERROR

HELP

Crimson, look in this thread. Do what Havard said.
Option to change the language of your Windows should be in Control Panel - Regional and Language Options.

Thanks for the answer Fat

Sadly it seems that it is not possible to change the language under Windows XP Home (German)

I've never tried to change the language myself, but maybe this can help?
