I had exactly the same problem of FrameMaker 9 (as part of the TCS 2 suite) crashing at "Localization" a couple of months ago. I tried all sorts (various reinstallations on various disks and even a new C:\ drive without success).
However, I finally cured it by completely deleting the following directory structure (which Frame 9 then recreates the next time you fire it up) (you will need to set Windows to show the hidden folder "Application Data"): C:\Documents and Settings\<your_user_name>\Application Data\Adobe I did try C:\Documents and Settings\<your_user_name>\Application Data\Adobe\FrameMaker As a first shoot, but that didn't work. I guess TCS 2 must use some common files further up the hierarchy necessitating "Adobe" being specified. I hope this works for you Joseph.
