upgrade to xp - language error

I am attempting to upgrade from 98SE (4.10.2222A) to XP Pro and have upgrade
kit which says on box it is possible!!
When you run disk you get error message "The language of this installation
of Windows differs from the one you are installing. The option to upgrade
will not be available".
From the Windows knowledge base I gather that the language supports have
changed over different editions of Windows and that in some cases it is
possible to get around this by editing the register.
Is there some way I can uprade the language on 98SE to be compatible with XP?
Any help to max_torque(remove blok
thanks in advance

While you *may* get the answer to this question in this forum, you're
more likely to get the correct answer from a Windows XP forum,
specifically one dealing with Setup. Like this one:
