Symptoms

It is not possible to select an interface language during the interactive installation of FineReader PDF 16 on the workstations. As a result, the program is installed with the English interface language.

Cause

The interface language is automatically selected when installing the program from the administrative installation point.

When installing the program using a command line, make sure the correct command-line option is used. Some command-line options have been changed for the FineReader PDF 16 version.
