There is also a problem with FR3 installation of the english version. If =
the system locals is set to other than EN/US then FR3 installation will =
fail. To workaround this problem you have to set the system locals to =
EN/US, install MF FR3 then set your locals back to the original state.
Hope Citrix comes with a new FR3 image og prehotfix that fixes this =
problem, it's a pain in the a** when running unattended installations.
