Windows – Install English TeamViewer 9 on Chinese Windows

installationlanguageteamviewervpnwindows xp

I need to install English language TeamViewer on a computer in China running Chinese Windows XP.

I don't own the computer so can't change the OS. It's in a hotel with a computer but without Wi-Fi. But I've found I am able to install software (I don't know if it will get erased on reboot).

I use TeamViewer to VPN my way past the Great Firewall of China.

Now TeamViewer's download page does let me choose a langauge and I do choose English, but when the installer runs it's in Chinese.

If I just fumble through the installer it's not installed in the same way as on my laptop and won't allow my to connect to the remote machine I use. Of course I cannot read any of the error messages either.

I looked at forcing the installer to run in English, but it's not a .msi but a .exe

How can I force Team Viewer to install a version with English User interface or change the settings of the interfeace from Chinese to English once it's installed?
