ITunes 9 on 10.6 won't launch not properly localized for this language

I have run the iTunes 9 installer on Snow Leopard in the UK. It appeared to complete the install successfully. When I open the app it fails to launch with an error - That this version of iTunes is not properly localised for this language - please install the English version. Given I am downloading directly from apple.com/uk this is frustrating. Given other UK twitter users have successfully installed I think the problem is my Snow Leopard install rather than iTunes.
I have rebooted, installed other languages from the Snow Leopard install disk and tried to repair permissions. I have re-downloaded the installer from apple.com with the same result.
Any ideas?

Hey all, obviously I have the same problems with my iTunes 9.0.1. I've tried un/re-installing it. I've tried removing the cache. I've read a suggestion to place a new Localized.rsrc file in this extension: 'iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj.' but have no idea how to follow it nor how to open the .rsrc file. I've tried searching for those folders but they don't exist in that order, and I can't figure out how to use the .rsrc file. I hope someone figures something else out soon. I'm not very tech-savy so any help would be awesome in a dumbed-down version.
I may just re-install an older version... the only problem is I'd have to re-create all the library content because it would be too old to read the library stuff I have now... GAH! I won't update anymore until I've read reviews. I've had too many problems with updating iTunes and Quicktime. Sorry, I'm venting. Help, please!

    Start by trying to repair iTunes from the programs and features control panel.
    Otherwise, for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Hey KEBENNETT, 
    It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally. 
    I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

  • ITunes didn't completely download my songs and now it says itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please use english version. What is this?

    iTunes didn't completely download all my songs. I updated iTunes and now this message appears "iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. Please use the english version." The only option I have at this point is to close it down because I can't access iTunes because this message won't allow me to get in.

    I did a system restore, trying to get rid of the new update (which I HATE), and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message telling me that "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please run the English version."  You can't change the language option unless you can open iTunes - and IT WON'T OPEN!!!  What a piece of crap!  If there existed an iTunes substitute, I would purchase it in a hot minute! 

    Strip it out and start again.

    If you really want to roll back to 11.4 uninstall all iTunes/Apple components as described in the second box, restore the pre-upgrade version of the library as described in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash, then download and install from one of these direct links:
