I was trying to install AppLocale for Windows 7 and received this message:
Note: The application is now discontinued and does not run on newer Windows. Microsoft AppLocale is a compact tool designed to help you run non-Unicode applications without having problems in. Mar 3, 2015 - OS: Windows 7 x64 AppLocase. Solution 解決方式: Step 1. Right click on apploc.msi and select properties 步驟1. 在applic.msi 按右鍵選擇屬性.
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
Turns out, the AppLocale installer needs to be run with administrator privileges in order to complete applocale installation successfully on Windows Vista or Windows 7. However, apploc.msi (or any other .msi) does not offer you a “Run as administrator” on the right click menu. There are many ways around this, one being running a command prompt as an administrator and launching the installer through the prompt.
AppLocale installer needs to be run with administrator privileges in order to install on Windows 7 and Windows Vista
If you are not familiar with command prompt, here is what to do:
![Applocale windows 7 x64 free Applocale windows 7 x64 free](https://xaueious.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/image10.png)
- Hit the start button and type “cmd”, you will see “cmd.exe” under Programs
- Right click and select “Run as administrator” and click “Yes” on the confirmation window
- Run apploc.msi through this command prompt – if your apploc.msi is under “Downloads”, this command would be “C:Usersuser_nameDownloadsapploc.msi”
The installer UI will launch and Windows 7 AppLocale installation will run smoothly.
For those who are not familiar with apploc, it lets you launch a code-page based application in a different locale then your system’s setting. Lets say you have an html file with Japanese encoding Shift-JIS and want to launch it with Notepad to make some changes. If your system locale is set to anything else than jp, you will see a bunch of question marks and garbage characters when you open the file with Notepad. You can either change your system locale which will require a reboot, or launch it with AppLocale which will simulate the environment.

It’s been several weeks since I installed a pre-release version of Windows 7 in my home computer. Almost every program I am using frequently runs very smooth in the computer.
Microsoft AppLocale was an exception, until today…
AppLocale is a program that helps you run a non-unicode program in a different locale to what user’s windows system is currently running. For example, if you are using a version of Japanese version of Windows system, but you are trying to run a Chinese Version of particular software, AppLocale can help you on this regard. I have a large quantity of mp3 collections have been tagged in Korean, but I am running windows in Chinese Version, it made most of mp3 tags in iTunes become ill-displayed. So, AppLocale become my favorite!
But under Windows 7, AppLocale could not be installed properly in some reason. I tried to look up some information around the web. I scrapped following tip from http://qna.live.com/ShowQuestion.aspx?qid=A012C78EF7304B50BD7972B5F11F69B9
Here’s how to install AppLocale on Windows 7:
1. Place the AppLocale installer (apploc.msi) in your C: drive.
2. Go to your start menu, type cmd in the search box.
3. Hold down crtl+shift and click on cmd.exe.
4. Select Yes when a dialog asks if you want the program to make chances to your computer.
5. The command prompt should show C:WindowsSystem32.
6. Type cd and press enter to navigate to the C: drive.
7. Type apploc.msi and press enter, the installer will appear.
8. Install the application.
1. Place the AppLocale installer (apploc.msi) in your C: drive.

3. Hold down crtl+shift and click on cmd.exe.
4. Select Yes when a dialog asks if you want the program to make chances to your computer.

Update:
As I updated my Windows 7 to latest Release Candidate (Build 7100), I found that it removed my AppLocale. All the AppLocale generated shortcuts are gone, and as I click the AppLocale, it required me to input the original package.
I tried to repeat the same way to install again, but Windows 7 did not allow me the copy the package into C drive. Here is what I did.
1. Click Start, type “cmd” in search box.
2. Right click the “cmd” icon, and select “run as administrator”
3. Copy the apploc.msi into c: in DOS command. (e.g. Copy f:programapploc.msi c:)
4. Run “appLoc.msi” by type it in DOS command.
2. Right click the “cmd” icon, and select “run as administrator”
3. Copy the apploc.msi into c: in DOS command. (e.g. Copy f:programapploc.msi c:)
4. Run “appLoc.msi” by type it in DOS command.
You have to make sure that you opened the DOS command mode in administrator, otherwise it won’t let you copy the file into C drive.
