Question

Answer 1

You could try and do the following

• Try to remove the VS2010 installation and the .NET framework installation. Then download the english version here. Install the English .NET framework and then install VS2010.

• If that doesn't work then maybe the two blogposts below will help. There are tricks with startup parameters to be able to use a certain language.

  Blog 1 about how to use the LCID parameter

  Blog 2 with a list of available language codes

Two other interresting blog posts from the same writer can be found here and here.

Answer 2

It's possible.

Install your version (German). Once the installation is finished you can install the English trial version: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional Trial - Web Installer

Once the trial installation is finished you are able to switch languages in

Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> International Settings

You can even uninstall the german version through appwiz.cpl. Look for Visual Studio components with de or DEU endings.

It seems that the license is language independent.

Answer 3

Install the English language pack over it and then open the file location where you have installed the visual studio and delete the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - DE folder leaving only Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU folder.
