Yes, you need the Spanish version in order to install it in that language. Conversions/upgrades from one language to another do not work well. Often, you have to do a clean install in order to avoid some of the registry problems.

Also the above site does contain upgrades... but they read as follows:

" Upgrade to Windows XP Pro with menus and manuals in Spanish. Requires Spanish Windows '98/ME to upgrade. "
