You downloaded the North American English updater, but are not running North American English 9.21. Download the updater that corresponds to your language.

Have you tried the International English version of 9.22, from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75186?

Hi.

In the "Apple System Profiler" it says which language version you got.

Well... :o ...seems I downloaded the International English Updater....

I had used a link purporting that the North American English Updater was actually the International English Updater instead. I used the link that was posted...dumb mistake.

Anyways, it isn't easy to be confused when every updater file up there on Apple's site is named the same name...

Installed fine too. Thank the Gods.
