thanks. I download now the 2010er Tune-Up.
You’ll find “en-US” folder here
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TuneUp Software\TuneUp Utilities 2011
in a WindowsXP Pro 32 machine.
FREAKING AWESOME!! now I finally can use it in English, thanks for the guide!!!
@ Luchoga1:
It’s quite a bit different than the one posted here but I figured out the extra steps myself. However, I’m running Windows Vista 64 and my language folder was actually located under the “ProgramData” folder which is hidden, so make sure you have “show hidden files and folders” active. Then go to “C:\ProgramData\TuneUp Software\TuneUp Utilities 2010”, you’ll see it there then follow the copy steps given above.
The other tricky part is is in the registry, I found the needed line under “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TuneUp\Utilities\9.0” and again, follow the steps given above.
Hope it works for you too and good luck!
Thanks again guys!!
Hi, I download the 2010 Tune-Up Utilities setup installer, and installed the program, but I can not find the folder en-us language.
