Probably less strange question if detailed out.

I want to install software on my system in English. Yet there are drivers
and certain software (i.e. latest Google Earth version) that insists to
install in German.

please help...

I tried a lot with User Locale and System locale (I think), but I am not
able to control reliably how software is installed.

I am running a native US version of Windows XP SP2. However, I do have a
Swiss keyboard and I live ins Switzerland.
Windows XP language is english. Standards and formats are English (USA) too,
but i have customized some formats (date, time, etc). Location is
Switzerland. Input languages include English (USA) and German (Switzerland).
Default is German (Switzerland)

Any suggestion on how I can male ALL software installing in English very
much appreciated.

Thanks

Dan
