Open TXTSETUP.SIF in notepad (In I386 folder)
Search for string "Windows XP Professional" and change.

what does it say when you right click on my computer > proerties. You dont want to change everything to Windows CJ as some software might not recognize it and probably wont install.

[Strings]
wks_id   = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional"
wks_id_vga = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional [VGA mode]"
cancel_id = "Cancel Windows XP Setup"
9x_id = "Microsoft Windows"


make changes in this section in TXTSETUP.SIF

[Strings]
wks_id   = "Microsoft Windows CJ"
wks_id_vga = "Microsoft Windows CJ"
cancel_id = "Cancel Windows CJ Setup"
9x_id = "Microsoft Windows"
