When forcing the installation of a specific language on an English version of the operating system by using the /LCID switch (for example when running "setup_viiv.exe /L2052" to install Simplified Chinese), some strings might present different degrees of corruption.

Workaround: Set the language to non-Unicode programs in the Language and Regional Options to match the language being installed. This will ensure that proper code page support is available for the non-Unicode components of the Intel Viiv software.

The text of some alert messages might be displayed in the "Messages" on 2 lines, pushing eventual scrolling buttons down behind the MCE navigation buttons, when more than 5 messages are displayed. The scrolling buttons, if overlapping with the MCE navigation buttons, are then no longer accessible when using a mouse.
