So, there is a new Zune software and the old fix to install the software on a Non-English O/S won't work anymore. But, there is a new fix.

Here it is for all international Zune lovers.
This fix solves the Error Code : 0X80070002 (Missing "Watson" installation package) that will be displayed if you use Windows XP (I don't know about windows vista) in a language other than English. Here is a screenshot of the displayed error message in french.
STEP 1 :Download the Zune software from Zune.net website and chose "Save As" to save the file on your disk at a location you'll remember.
STEP 2 :When it is download, use Winrar to extract the content of the installation package. I have also extracted the package for those of you who don't want to install Winrar, you can download it at
http://rapidshare.com/files/75293006/zunesetuppkg-x86.zipSTEP 2 :In the extracted folder, find the file named
Zune-x86.msi, located in the
packages folder, and run it (you can also use Zune-fr.msi or Zune-es.msi if you want to install the software in french of in spanish).

STEP 3 :Wait for the non-fancy installation box to end and close by itself. You should now see a new shortcut to the Zune software on your desktop.
STEP 4 :The Zune software is now installed and working. Have fun.

ZuneScene.com====================================
METHOD TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL ZUNE SOFTWARE ON A NON-ENGLISH O/S. THIS WON'T WORK ANYMORE WITH THE NEW SOFTWARE.
I know I said I would create this like a week ago but I didn't have enough time (and I didn't have my computer or internet neither) so here it is. This method should work on
any non-english windows xp pro or home edition with the latest updates. This will also help you to create a Zunetag if you live outside the US. All steps are represented by pictures taken from my computer and I blured my name out of them. Thx to musiczune.de for the dos commands. Enjoy!
STEP 1 :Check your windows username (you can see when you click the start menu, it's in the upper-left corner, next to your picture), then open the command prompt by clicking the
Start button, then
Run. You'll see the dos windows appear, now you need to enter the following lines. Each time you have one completly written, press enter and make sure the message says it worked. So here is what you write (the word "username" in red should be replaced
with your username) :
net localgroup USERS /add
net localgroup INTERACTIVE /add
net localgroup USERS [color=red]username[/color] /add
net localgroup INTERACTIVE [color=red]username[/color] /add

You should get what you see on the picture in your O/S language.
STEP 2 :Get the
FULL Zune software installer wich is 48.7mb zipped (
link note that this is a rapidshare link, the full installer is also on the Zune CD). Run the ZuneSetup.exe wich is the installer.

Now you get the first page of the installer. It checks for updates and should not find anything, just wait until the greyed "next" button is clickable,

then click on
next.
STEP 3:You have the user agreement to agree (quite simple, isn't it

). Just click
I Accept.
STEP 4:It lives... no it just installs, wait until it reaches 100%... If it doesn't work, you probably messed something up in the first step.
STEP 5:100% installed, it will now check for your Zune for one minute. If you already have your Zune, plug it now and it should detect it (the following steps may differ a little bit as I did it without a Zune).

If you don't have your Zune, wait a whole minute and the greyed "next" button will change to "skip". Click the
Skip button now.
STEP 6:You will now see the library settings screen.

You can customize those settings now or later as you want. Click
Next The software will then check for your music files.

Just let it scan your complete library... or you can do it later.
STEP 7:It now asks you to create a Zunetag but you won't be able to do it if you are outside the US (you may try and be lucky...).

So just hit
Cancel, we'll do it another way.
STEP 8:Go on
www.xbox.com. It will automaticaly switch the xbox page to your country and we don't want that. Check the upper left corner of the page, there is a link called
international. Click it and you will see a list of many countries. Chose
United States wich is at the bottom of the list (the last country).

You are now back at the home page, but in the US. Click the
My Xbox button in the top menu, the click
Sign Up. Just follow all the instructions to register an account (you may need to register a live.com email also) and always specify
United States when it asks you for a country.
STEP 9:Open the
Zune Software and click on the small picture of someone (

) wich is the login button.

Then, choose
Register a new account. You will now see the page we cancelled before.

Click on
Click here to sign in, next to "Already have an Xbox live account or a ZunePass". Enter the email you registered to your Xbox live account.
STEP 10:You now have the installed Zune software, and a ZuneTag wich is your Xbox Live Tag. Enjoy! It will be ready for your new Zune when you get one, or you can now fully use it

. Spread the word, wherever you are, you can now install the Zune software. If you are speaking a foreign language and want to spend some time to translate it, let's go. I will translate it in french when I have some more time but there are still dozens of languages.
