Luckily these issue are completely solved by [http://www.hongfire.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=329 HF pAppLoc] because it adds a quick way to run a game with AppLocale as administrator.
 If you're looking for more in-depth information, it seems like the dynamic elevation of rights somehow interferes with the way AppLocale works. To solve it you have to either run the setup with administrator privileges from the start or disable [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control UAC].

 When you have installed AppLocale, you should download (( [http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1nyhjtyny4w this archive]. Broken Link ))The archive includes two <tt>.reg</tt> files. One will ''add ''a right-click context menu option (works on Vista as well), that will launch any application with Japanese regional settings with AppLocale. The other will ''remove ''the context menu again. So, after you have run the add <tt>.reg</tt> file, you just right-click an application (or shortcut) and select '''Locale Japanese''', and the application will run with Japanese regional settings. Very useful!

 =Uninstalling the Game=
 [[File:illusion_games_uninstall.png|thumb|How to uninstall]]
 To uninstall the game you simply have to run the uninstaller.
 #The easiest way to launch the uninstaller is to mount the game.iso and run the setup with Japanese locale as administrator. Alternatively you can find the game in installed programs in the Windows Control Panel, but maybe your Japanese reading skills aren't good enough to find it.
 #Click (N) a few times until you get to the screen shown on the right.
 #Select the (R) option and click (N).
 #Let the uninstall finish.
 ===Houston, We Have a Problem===
 If you get an error during uninstallation, it can have one of these causes:
 *You used the RegFixer
 *You edited the registry manually
 *You renamed the game folder
 *You installed the game without Japanese locale and now have a corrupt game folder name
