Brink Hello William,
64-bit Windows 10 I noticed in your first screenshot to install, that you manually browsed to a locaton on E. Did you install those
Pro language packs using the same method in OPTION ONE? If not, then you might see if you may be able to install

them using this method instead.

Do you have the Choose a display language drop down menu in the screenshot under step 2 of OPTION TWO,
and are the missing installed languages listed here?
