How to change the installation language of Office 2013

Hi,

I bought the boxed version of Office 2013 Home and Business English edition at a local store.

I come home, open the box and there's no disc (!??)

I go to office.com/setup as per instructions, enter my key and then forced to created a microsoft account.

While creating the microsoft account, I chose by mistake Canada - French.

At the installation page, I realize that the selected language is French and that I cannot change it.

I go over all th My Account options to find the language setting in order to change it but no hope.

I figure that if I download the media maybe I will get the option of choosing my language... guess what.

I burn the image, pop the disc in and its only in French with no choice of choosing English!!!

Please Help I bought an English version, I want the English version!

Thanks,

Please note: this is not about the input language but the installation language (GUI)

    After you copy the incorrect download link into a new tab (or session) on your browser, you edit the link to change it to en-us (or your desired language) then hit <ENTER> to trigger the download of the installer in your desired language.  Select the "Save" option on the download.  After the download is done, then you can run the installer

    Did you hit <enter>?

    The most helpful reply by FrustratedInGuelph worked for me too. I was stuck with Italian that would have requested to learn the "Italian" interface. I was ready to install  an open source office app.

    Thanks!
