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)

    I also have the same problem.

    However when I Go to https://office.microsoft.com/MyAccount.aspx?fromAR=1 , I can not choose language, as it is in grey...

    How can I change to English? I can not use office in Lithuanian, as it is installed at the moment.

    Hope this will help. :)
