rigorous Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I wanted to install a LIP through cmdlines.txt but without success. Before and after that I tried with Google but there's no information related with this problem.It is a little bit strange because this procedure is rather important in creating of unattended installations.I've created a lp folder inside of $OEM$ and put there my lip file. I hoped that it is possible to do that with the following command: ".\lp\setup.msi /passive /norestart"any suggestion?

rigorous Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Read this!Thank you for the help, Yzöwl, but I've already read msiexec syntax from another site.Well... my cmdlines.txt now looks like this way:"msiexec/i .\lp\setup.msi /passive /norestart"As the first, sorry, I didn't mention msiexec command in my 1st post here As the second, I added /i switch, but my language pack refused to install.again.I removed /passive /norestart switches to check what;s going on there and I've got this error:The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exist and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor... bla bla...According to this message my path isn't correct.\lp\setup.msiBut it looks fine to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmokingman Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Perhaps try puttimg the msi in the same folder as the cmdlines.txt is located, then change the cmdline to belowsetup.msi /passive /norestart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myselfidem Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) It's needed to take care with the spaces and specify the full path !Example with WPI:cmds[pn]=['"%WPIPath%\\Install\\ITunes\\SetupAdmin.exe"','msiexec.exe /i "%WPIPath%\\Install\\ITunes\\iTunes.msi" /qn','msiexec.exe /i "%WPIPath%\\Install\\ITunes\\QuickTime.msi" /qn','msiexec.exe /i "%WPIPath%\\Install\\ITunes\\AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi" /qn','msiexec.exe /i "%WPIPath%\\Install\\ITunes\\AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi" /qn','msiexec.exe /i "%WPIPath%\\Install\\ITunes\\Bonjour.msi" /qn'];Or:msiexec.exe /i "%SystemDrive%\Install\ITunes\iTunes.msi" /qn Edited January 21, 2013 by myselfidem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I pun my LIP directly into $OEM$ folder, installation started at T-12 but when it finished, I've got an error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I'm afraid that it isn't possible to install language pack (not MUI but LIP) to the XP at all!I've found an old post here that it is impossible to install them but I can't understand why... LIP is the same thing as any other .msi file... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myselfidem Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Yes, it's possible! But now I see that all Microsoft's links are removed about explaination to integrate LIP on Windows XP!I found french documentation, and used to install MUI French language pack successfully (process is not the same), but I don't remember where !1 - LIP kits languages can be installed only with 32bit Windows XP version, but they can't be installed on a computer who have MUI language pack already installed or previously installed !2 - We can install only ONE LIP. I we want install another LIP we must uninstall the one previously installed3 - Copy the CD-ROM files LIP inside a subfolder: %DistributionFolder%\OPKTools\Updates\LIP4 - Preinstall application:msiexec /i \\server_name\\OpkTools\LIP\MUISETUP.EXE /q%WINDIR%\mui\fallback\LCID\profupd.exe /l LCID_value5 - LCID_value and language:0402 = Bulgare0403 = Catalan041a = Croate0425 = Estonien0439 = Hindi0426 = Letton0427 = Lituanien0418 = Roumain0c1a = Serbe (cyrillique)081a = Serbe (latin)041e = Thaï0422 = Ukrainien------------------------0424 = Slovène *041b = Slovaque *This method create the section below inside: Winbom.ini[OemRunOnce]"PackageName1","msiexec /i \\server\\OpkTools\Updates\LIP\MUISETUP.EXE\LIPSetup.msi /q""PackageName2","c:\windows\mui\fallback\LCID_value\profupd.exe /l LCID_value"For Slovène and Slovaque LIP (*)msiexec /i \\server_name\\OpkTools\Updates\LIP\MUISETUP.EXE /l LCID_value /s /rThis method create the section below inside:Winbom.ini[OemRunOnce]"PackageName1","msiexec /i \\server\\OpkTools\Updates\LIP\MUISETUP.EXE /l LCID_value /s /r"LIP will be installed with "Audit mod"HTH Edited January 22, 2013 by myselfidem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigorous Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) myselfidem...There's a difference between MUI and LIP.LIP is- Language Interface PackIt isn't completely the same as MUI (Multilingual User Interface)If you check your examples you'll see that we're working with MUISETUP.EXE. In my case it is a setup.msi. I found things which you mentioned here but I didn't check them because I'm a little bit suspicious from the reason mentioned above.There's no "LIP files" in my case. It is only one file, setup.msi.I simply can't understand that this topic wasn't interesting many years ago.regards Edited January 22, 2013 by rigorous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigorous Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm afraid that I'll have to swap original files manually.When we extract setup.msi, we can see next folders:CommonFilesFolderProgramFilesFolderSystem32WindowsIt is not a big problem to convert some well known files into CAB archives and change original english language files but I don't know what to do with (for exapmle) *.dll.mui files from $$\Windows\mui\Fallback\0c1a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
