coucou - I dont know what could be the problem with the french .mst-file. I edited all of them the same way with InstallShield Admin Studio. I have now tried out all of the .mst-files. And I didnt had any kind of problems @ all. I would suggest that u download the file again to be sure that it didnt get corrupt. It could also be of help if anyone else would try these and let me know. About the activation. It will ask u to activate it AFTER your first run. By that I mean that u have to first run the program and the close it to be able to activate it. GoodLuck!
