기 타 Change Your Vista Language (All Versions)...HOW TO
2007.09.16 16:59
A Chinese expert, xinso, has come up with a beautiful solution for people who want to change the system language of their Vista (preinstalled), but who do not have Ultimate or Enterprise editions.
Xinso's solution proves that Microsoft was right in saying that Vista is a language-agnostic OS, meaning that the core system and the language interface (including English) can be separately installed or removed, and this applies to all versions of Vista, including Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium and Business, apart from Ultimate and Enterprise.
The solution makes use of Microsoft WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kits) and the standalone MUI Packs. For those who have already installed WAIK and have used WAIK to create a WinPE CD, all you need to do first is to copy the entire Servicing folder to C root (C:Servicing) as follows:
1. Copy WAIK Servicing folder (all files) to C: root
2. Create a sub folder called LanguagePack (C:ServicingLanguagePack
3. Create a sub folder in the LanguagePack folder with this name: x86_Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package_6.0.6000.16386_en-US_31bf3856ad364e35_
(C:ServicingLanguagePackx86_Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package_6.0.6000.16386_en-US_31bf3856ad364e35_)
4. Place your English MUI cab file in the subfolder you just created
4. Copy the change.cm, install.xml and uninstallxml to C:Servicing
5. install.xml

8. This example assumes you have a Spanish Vista Business preinstalled and wanted to change it to English. You boot your PC with WinPE CD and key in the change.cmd command. The change.cmd commandwill start install.xml for installing English and uninstall.xml for removing Spanish. It will then configure English as the system default language.
The Language codes in install.xml, uninstall.xml and change.cmd can be changed to what you prefer (all 16 MUI Packs can be installed and removed in this way)
You can download WAIK and MUI Packs (links in this forum). The other tool you need is EXE2CAB which converts the download MUI Packs (in .exe format to .cab format). You can get EXE2CAB by Google search.
