I've modified some scripts, that I've found and put the whole process to one batch. It will integrate the given Language pack into all editions of Vista DVD.

Tested and working.

Integrate langpack.cmd

@Echo Off
Echo Enter path to Windows AIK:
Echo Example: C:\Program Files\Windows AIK
Set /p WAIK=
Echo.
Echo Enter path for mounting WIM file:
Echo Example: D:\VistaWork\Mount
Set /p WIM=
Echo.
Echo Enter path to directory with Vista DVD copied:
Echo Example: D:\VistaWork\DVD
Set /p WD=
Echo.
Echo Enter path to language pack:
Echo Example: D:\VistaWork\LP\lp.cab
Set /p LP=
Echo.
Echo Enter path for extracting the language pack:
Echo Example: D:\VistaWork\LPEXT
Set /p ELP=
Echo.
Echo Enter language pack ID:
Echo Example: en-US
Set /p LANG=
Echo.
Echo Select the Vista edition:
Echo Example: 1
Echo 1 - BUSINESS
Echo 2 - HOMEBASIC
Echo 3 - HOMEPREMIUM
Echo 4 - ULTIMATE
Echo 5 - BUSINESSN
Echo 6 - HOMEBASICN
Echo 7 - STARTER
Set /p EDITION=
Echo.

Hope it helps.

can i select which one i want to slip? and do i need any stuff to do this or only the cmd? what is about the right folders?

[mhyll]

You need Windows AIK (WAIK) installed.

If you don't want to download whole 900MB package, I can upload MiniPETools which contains all needed.
If you create folder structure like in Examples it will work.

You can select only one edition, by deleting the others from CMD.

Numbers:
1-BUSINESS
2-HOMEBASIC
3-HOMEPREMIUM
4-ULTIMATE
5-BUSINESSN
6-HOMEBASICN
7-STARTER

You can download MiniPETools at:

mhyll, thank you but I can't distribute the peimg ms tool, I wish I could, then hotfixes would be supported as well. Now I gotta write my own routines but that might not even be possible with this new package thingy.

[mhyll]

Couldn't you add it as requirements for running vLite, just like .NET??? MiniPETools have only 5MB.

Or maybe just like option.
And add routines, to check, if this is installed. If yes, hotfix and language slipstream will be available in vLite, if not, it will be unavailable.

Vista has .NET in it, everyone running nLite have .NET. MiniPETools isn't MS product, too weird to make that requirement.
Too much work for optional features. When done it has to be supported from the box.

Maybe you can include MiniPETools.

Did they rewrite peimg from nothing?

I don't know. I just rewrote the script. You can check it in the earlier post. It allows selecting edition, into which you want to integrate tha langpack. Also did some automations. Check and write, if something can be better.

I rewrote the script to allow this.

mhyll, will your script work for doing either a new language pack integration where one wasn't included
before, and to integrate an update to a language pack that already exists in Vista?

I don't understand your question clearly. But:

1. This is for integrating updates to the Vista installation DVD, so it's not for already installed Vista.
2. You can integrate any language you want. Except English, because with that I had some problems. I am searching, why it does not integrate english into other languaged DVD.
3. To integrate translation update, you will need to integrate this update like Hofix not like Language Pack.

myhll,

For item (1) I take it that this "update" means, if the language didn't exist in Vista (for example PT-BR) that
once MSoft comes out with it, one can integrate it into Vista using your script above.

However, for item (3) if MSoft comes out with a language pack "update", it means, that the language (for example
PT-BR) was already included, but MSoft came out with an update to correct for example spelling errors, additional
information in that language etc. that in this case, since you mention to integrate it like hotfixs, that one could
use Nuhi's Vlite tool.


Now, the question begs to be asked. What about if a language (for example PT-BR) is already integrated on the
Vista DVD, and one wants to remove it to create more space on the DVD for other software stuff?
Is there a way to modify your script to "Delete" the language from the language pack that's already integrated into
the Vista DVD?

Sure it is. I just wasn't looking on this. PEIMG and PKGMKR is the key.

[nam265]

I tried your script but i got a little confuse about path settings. Can you give me a complete/clear walkthrough how to use your script plz?

let say I have my DVD copied to C:\VistaWork\DVD
path for mounting WIM file - is this going to be C:\VistaWork\DVD\sources?

path to language pack - I put Lp.cab in C:\VistaWork\LP, so that's the path?

path for extracting the language pack - what is this path? can i just create a new folder in C:\VistaWork and call it LPext?

language pack ID - since i'm trying to integrate Chinese - HKSAR, what is its pack ID? Zh-hk?


Thanks in advance
