Problem installing Nikon View - "Locale does not match" error

You can try changing the locale. This is in Control Panel->Region and Language->Administrative->Change System Locale. You can also install/uninstall languages from the language tab.

Hope this helps

Nikon Capture when initially installed you have to tell it what types of files to open.... IT has 3 tick boxes for NEF (Nikon Raw Files), TIFF, & JPEg, you actually have to tell it which types you want NX to open. The easiest way to fix the problem maybe to reinstall the program and reset the file association as you install it. Hope this may  help.

Under some limited conditions, Nikon Capture 3 will fail to launch after the initial installation and you will not be presented with the opening dialog which allows you to select either "Trial" mode or be permitted to enter your serial key. A dialog box is displayed indicating that updated drivers are required, but the names of these drivers are not listed. This installer replaces two files with updated versions which resolves this issue and allows Nikon Capture 3 to launch. Do not install this update if you are already running Nikon Capture in trial or registered mode. This update is not required for any version of Nikon Capture other than 3.0.

When the Nikon installer runs it checks for certain files before performing the update. If it cannot find the require files it displays the "...locale does not match..." error. Verify the following if you experience this problem: Be sure that both the original Nikon View install and the new Nikon View/Capture Updater were both downloaded from the Nikon USA web site. There are known issues when two different regions are used for downloading the software. If either were downloaded from the incorrect web site re-download from the Nikon USA Technical KDB Download Page. http://www.nikonusa.com/software Verify that the installation was run while booted into Mac OS X. You CAN NOT install while booted into OS 9 and simply copy the application to the OS X "Applications" folder. Use the "System Preferences" (OS X) or "Control Panels" (OS 9) and "Startup Disk" to start up in OS X and then install Nikon View and Capture and then after restarting run the combined updater.

On Friday August 23, 2002 Apple released an updated version (Mac OS 10.2) to the Mac operating system. While we are NOT yet announcing compatibility information we do have the following information regarding one issue. Mac OS X has a built-in feature that scans items as they are installed to check for security issues. When Nikon Capture 3.0 is installed the dialog box below will display indicating a possible issue. If the user clicks "Fix and Use" the dialog will be dismissed and the application will run as expected. If the "Use" button is clicked the application will run fine untilthe Mac has been restarted at which time the same dialog will appear. If "Don't Use" is clicked Capture 3 can not be started. A future version of the Nikon Capture installer will prevent this. As compatibility and usage information is available I will update you on Nikon software and OS compatibility.
