Is there a way to desintegrate Language packs from an DVD? I heard someone saying that it is possible to do that with vlite.

[lousen]

You can remove all languajes from an original ISO with vlite, in "Components" selecting the languajes.

If you have an ISO made with vlite with a languaje pack integrated by you, and now you want to remove this, I think it is not possible...

[eryen]

U can remove MUI packs with WAIK.

@eryen

How can you remove the language packs with WAIK?

With vlite you are removing only the support for the languages not the languages self.

[eryen]

That is realy easy.
Open install.wim with WAIK.
Select Language pack. Add to answer file. Configure it to remove.
That run pkgmgr in commandline with answer file.


Installation must contain a language pack.
For example u have English MSDN DVD.
But u want to make it Bulgarian.

First add Bulgarian language pack.
Change default language to bg-BG
Then remove english language pack.

Default language changer said:

intlcfg.exe -all:bg-BG -image:"Offlinedir"

Sorry for double post.

I prefer to change MSDN DVDs to my language then slipstream SP1 to my old DVD source.


PS:
Allready did it.
11 in 1 all in my language. All of them work without any problem because of services or etc.

I tried to do that with an unattended.xml but it didn't worked. I will try one more time. Anyway thanks eryen

[flamandu]

sorry for double post, but is there any way to do that with an batch script? I have already mhyll's batch script for adding languages, that works 100% and maybe someone can do all the commands in one batch script. That whould be appreciated.

My appologies for the double post!

start /w pkgmgr /o:"E:\Wim\;E:\Wim\Windows" /n:"E:\x86.rem.Lang.xml"
ImageX /unmount /commit E:\Wim

I use this batch for it.

I hope u know commands.
Basicly.
My Offline dir is E:\Wim
Offline windows dir E:\Wim\Windows
My Turkish lang files extracted at E:\sp1\x86tr\lp-tr-tr\
U can change "1" in first line to use another version in install.wim


Also dont forget to set path for WAIK on first lines of batch file.

Quote

PATH "C:\WINDOWS\system32";"C:\WINDOWS";"C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem";"%PROGRAMFILES%\Windows Imaging\";"%PROGRAMFILES%\Windows AIK\Tools\x86";"%PROGRAMFILES%\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Servicing"
SET TEMP=E:\sp1\TEMP1
SET TMP=E:\sp1\TEMP1

[flamandu]

Thats why it didn't worked, I didn't set the paths to WAIK. Can you rewrite your batch in one file again please but with the paths to Windows AIK?
I only want to remove the english language from the install.wim . For integrating another language i have another script.

Thanks

REM This will mount your "E:\install.wim" "1" number image to "E:\Wim" folder. You have to create folder first. change those to your folders
imagex /mountrw E:\install.wim 1 E:\Wim
REM This will change your default language.. Edit. tr-TR with your lang string
intlcfg.exe -all:tr-TR -image:"E:\Wim"
REM This will remove english language from install.wim. x86.rem.lang.xml wroten down
start /w pkgmgr /o:"E:\Wim\;E:\Wim\Windows" /n:"E:\x86.rem.Lang.xml"
REM this will commit changes for your install.wim
ImageX /unmount /commit E:\Wim

This is x86.rem.lang.xml

DO NOT FORGET. Install.wim must allways have a language pack.

If your install.wim have only one language.
First add your local.
Set default language to your local.
Then remove english language....

[flamandu]

Your batchfile worked but the language is still on the DVD. Here is an screenshot:



I think the language that in the setup is in boot.wim image installed is. I want my DVD only in Romanian.

[eryen]

U just modified install.wim.

I also have to mod boot.wim too.

Mount boot.wim 2 (Setup)
In sources folder. There is a file named lang.ini.
probbaly looks like this. Sorry i dont know. Romanian string. I just wrote ro-RO

Quote

[Available UI Languages]
ro-RO = 1
en-US = 3

[Fallback Languages]
ro-RO = en-us

Do it like this.

Quote

[Available UI Languages]
ro-RO = 3

[Fallback Languages]
ro-RO = en-us

[flamandu]

I can do it manualy, maybe with WAIK

[eryen]

WAIK can not help u there.


http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista...3.mspx?mfr=true

U have to edit lang.ini manually

[eryen]

By the way. That link is before SP1. Folders changed alittle.


Best and most easy way is.
Mountrw boot.wim 2
edit lang.ini
unmount commit


then change boot.ini in DVD image.
English files will be in boot.wim. But in menu u will not see it.

[flamandu]

I managed to edit the lang.ini in the boot.wim and it works. I don't have any boot.ini in the DVD and i didn't slipstreamed the Service pack yet.
I managed to set all the commands in one batch file.

The language folders are still there but you cannot chose them in the installation.
Thanks eryen for helping me out

Is it possible not use WAIK to remove the language pack? It is very difficult for me to download WAIK with my very slow internet connection. As you can see in the screenshot, the language pack (other than English) is integrated and I can't remove it. The installation file is from the only setup disk originally from my computer manufacturer.
