Windows 8.1 Install Language Packs Offline

I am looking for some kind of documentation or guide on creating a language pack package, and adding it to the task sequence for deploying Windows 8.1. I have the language pack Cab file, and a custom HTA for creating a variable that I know works, but
I cannot get the language pack to actually install. I read another post that suggested the location in the task sequence to put the "Install Language Packs offline" just before the "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" but it is not working.
The task sequence does complete successfully, but the LP is not installed. I have a base Windows 8.1 Pro customized image. I am using SCCM 2012 R2 with MDT 2013.
The package only contains the Cab file, and doesn't have any programs associated with it.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Tyler,
Please have a look at the blog below that deploying Windows 7 language packs with SCCM OSD. It creates a custom XML file that knows to load the language pack.

Need to install language pack on reference machine before capturing image?

we have captured image via MDT 2013 using sysprep and capture method so how integrate or add language pack? need to install language pack on reference machine before capturing image?

You don't HAVE to install them on the reference machine. Here are some examples, both online and offline:

Install language pack failure

hello
i have this error when i try to install language pack
any idea please

it's OK , i have changed the alternate access mapping to http://locahost.

Cannot open Language settings from Tile view, and unable to install Language packs from WSUS.

Hi all,
I have a bunch of Windows 2012 R2 servers that have been deployed from a syspreped image where the language has been defaulted to "en-GB", rather than the default "en-US".
I also have a WSUS 3 server running on a Windows 2008r2 machine. This tells me that a number of language packs are required by these 2102r2 machine, namely:
KB2839636 - English (United Kingdom) Language Pack
KB2839636 - English (United States) Language Pack
KB3012997 - English (United Kingdom) Language Pack
KB3012997 - English (United States) Language Pack
These have been approved to be installed on the 2012r2 machine, however, running Window Update on the machines shows nothing. Opening the Control panel, then navigating to "Add Language", then "options", shows no additional updates.
The I tried to search and run the languages control panel directly from the Windows Tile view by simply typing "language" and clicking the 'Language' option in the search results, but then get the following error dialogue box:
[Window Title]
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Packages\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Indexed\Settings\en-GB\Classic_{bf782cc9-5a52-4a17-806c-2a894ffeeac5}.settingcontent-ms
[Content]
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
The issue I have here is that I am logged on with the Domain Admin profile, but the path above refers to the local admin profile - however the file listed has full permissions for all 'Administrators'.
So I have two questions:
How should the Language pack updates get installed from WSUS?
How do I fix the problem with trying to open the Language option direct from the tile search view?
Many thanks
Chris

Might try these ones.

Cisco IP Communicator won't install language pack

We recently pushed Cisco IP Communicator 8.6.2.0 to a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit, SP 1.
When trying to open the client, the German language pack starts installing, then before it completes, the user receives an error stating that the German language pack cannot be installed:
I have seen issues where language packs take a long time to install, or where any language pack other than English will not install properly if English is not installed first, whether on wired or wireless. I had the user close the client, then I changed the language to English, and had him open the client again. He then received the same error, this time stating that the English language pack could not be installed:
I have not seen this issue before. We uninstalled Cisco IP Communicator, reinstalled it, changed the language multiple times, restarted the computer, and tried on both wired and wireless.
Also, if the user clicks OK, the error goes away and he says that IP Communicator works properly after that (if it's the English language pack...German will not install at all). However, he does not want to receive this error everytime he logs in.

You can try creating a problem report and take a look through those logs to see if anything hints at the problem. Might need to open a TAC case as it may be a bug.

Will installing language packs impact server performance

Will Installing a language pack has HIT on Server Performance ?
I have servers in Japanese. But my support team is only English Capable.
Can I install English Language Pack on the server ? and Set Group policy for My support team or use Loopback processing specific to each server ?
Please advice
Thanks in advance

Hi,
>>Can I install English Language Pack on the server ?
How many servers do we have?
We can add other language packs on our servers. We can use the following command to add a language pack to the operating system.
Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\test\LangPacks\lp.cab
Regarding how to add a language pack, the following thread
can be referred to for more information.
How to install a Language Pack?

If we want to use Group Policy to deploy the language pack, we need to get the .msi file of the package.
>>and Set Group policy for My support team or use Loopback processing specific to each server ?
What do you mean by this?
If it means that we want to make users use specific language when they log onto the servers, we can try doing this by editing the following policy:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Regional and Language Options
Enable
Restricts the UI languages Windows should use for the selected user and choose the language we want
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to as reference.

Hong Kong vs Canadian hard drive + Rescue and Recovery FROZEN at Installing Language Pack

Hello everyone,
I have a Lenovo T61 Widescreen (Type: 7658CTO) that I bought in Canada in May 2008. Unfortunately my warranty has expired.
I had some problems with my 1st hard drive (which came shipped with my Canadian machine) and so had it swapped with a new one using Lenovo's Hong Kong On-Site service in January of this year (I now live in Hong Kong).
I am trying to do a Rescue and Recovery (full system restore to factory settings) using the Hong Kong drive, but it is frozen at "Please Wait, Preload Customization in Progress...." There is an accompanying command line screen that says "Installing Chinese Hong Kong language pack". At the top of this command line screen it says "Select X:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe - call c:\swwork\autoex.cmd"
It has been frozen for over an hour. I have tried rebooting but it freezes again at "Please Wait, Preload Customization in Progress..."
I do not have Rescue and Recover CDs as they were not an option at the time I purchased my machine. In the past, I have several times successfully recovered and reinstalled from my hard drive partition on my Canadian hard drive.
Both Canadian and Hong Kong hard drives were running English Windows Vista Home Premium Edition.
Unfortunately, I do not have my Canadian hard drive anymore because I had to hand it over to the Hong Kong technician in order to recieve a new hard drive.
Could it be that the Hong Kong On-Site Warranty service merely made a Ghost Image of a English Vista config without copying the necessary back-up partition to the hard drive?
Any other ideas for why my Rescue and Recovery is frozen???
Thanks!
Richmond

Hi,
Your question is confusing.
"Factory recovery" option creates self-contained media with the full image of the OS + needed drivers and is bootable, so you can boot from it and install OS+drivers to the original state. When you bought your machine, it should have a "Q" partition (possibly hidden) that holds this image, and that is what is copied to the media plus the boot environment.
"Create rescue media" from the advanced menu in Rescue and Recovery makes a bootable disk that you can use to boot the computer from, and on it will be a separate little version of R&R that lets you choose to restore from a backup or from factory disks/images. It does not (if I am right) have an image of the OS or drivers. However, it does (if I am right again) search your connected drives for such images and will offer you to restore from one if it finds one.
It seems to me that when you used rescue media, you probably booted into the rescue media but then might have restored from a non-Lenovo windows image? Did you by any chance have a drive with a non-Lenovo Windows installation disk connected?
Also, the fact that R&R is a 32-bit program should not affect what OS is restores; it restores whatever is in the image.

Problem installing language pack manually under Linux

I had downloaded Asian language pack to be install under Ubuntu Linux. When ran the installer script using sudo I been prompted to enter the path where Adobe Reader was installed.
The problem seems to accept path name that have the word "acroread" only as the default option was under /opt path. My installation was under /usr/lib32/Acrobat/Reader8/bin and the installer script does not recognize that.
Help needed here. Thanks

Hi,
If you used the standard installation for reader, the path should have been /usr/lib32/Adobe/Reader8/bin and not /usr/lib32/Acrobat/Reader8/bin. Could you confirm how you performed the installation?
The solution is to uninstall and re-install the reader using the standard location. We highly recommend that you install under /opt if it's a system-wide installation. Installing under /usr/lib32 seems strange given that the reader consists of more than just libraries.
If that's not possible, you can fix it by tweaking the INSTALL script that is part of the language pack installer. Change line 198:
from:
198 if [ ! -d "$dir/Adobe/Reader8/Reader" -o ! -d "$dir/Adobe/Reader8/Resource" ]
to:
198 if [ ! -d "$dir/Acrobat/Reader8/Reader" -o ! -d "$dir/Acrobat/Reader8/Resource" ]
and specify /usr/lib32 as the path of installation when prompted.
Let us know how you progress.

How to install language pack

I am user of N73(Music Edition).
Please help me where I can download language pack such as traditional/simplified Chinese.
I am from Myanmar, so there is no Nokia Care Point. So, please tell me where can I download them.
Thanks!

As you quite rightly point out, this is a very old thread.
Our current range of Lumia smartphones do indeed allow a much wider choice of languages, you are not limited to a pre-set regional selection.
Back in the days of the N73, about which this topic was started, phone software was less sophisiticated than it is now and the phone had to share limited memory and processing resources across a wide range of features and applications, which is why it was not previously possible to give such a wide choice.

Windows Defender will not start after injecting Language Pack

Hi
I have started creating a new Windows 8.1 image for deployment to a new series of computers. When I am in audit mode installing programs, Windows Defender works fine. After sysprep and offline injection of Language Pack (da-dk) Windows Defender user
interface is not able to start.
Error message:
An error has occurred in the program during initialization. If this problem continues, please contact your system administrator. Error code: 0x80073b01.
Both Windows defender services is running and I can even run commands with MpCmdRun.exe from a command prompt. The issue seems to be with the language of the UI.
Is there something I need to do with Windows Defender when I install language packs?

Hi,
There might be some related files missing or corrupted.
Please take a try with the SFC command:
