I would never figure it out , as I have told you before, I do have somewhat in depth knowledge, but not even close to yours. It was intimidating at first watching the tutorial, but at the end it made sense. Thanks again, I am glad that some still like to help. Zioni.

done! I did what I thought made sense the most, uninstalled "install files for complex..." first, then deleted the intl. file, then reinstall "complex script..." and BINGO...Hebrew is there! as it should. So I want to thank you so much for your assistance, you have saved me many hours of re figuring sleek and tweaked XP install (less then 200MMB) What was that file I have deleted?

I have done this step already before. In order to delete the intl.PNF file do I want to undo the "install files for complex..." first, then delete the PNF, then reinstall "install files for comples..." or the order does not really matter? Thanks.

sorry about that, here it is. I also saw your note in regards to the intl, I have swap the 2 files, but nothing have changed.

Just a note here, I am trying to recover both a missing language (Hebrew) and keyboard (Hebrew) Here are the 2 screenshots: Thanks.

Super! I have followed all of the steps from your tutorial part 1 up to min 11.43 but from some reason I do not see hive.inf at all, only nlite.inf Is hives.inf must be there, or it is there only for your specific operation? Thanks.

Hi again, I was away for couple of days, never got to work on my missing language problem. If you are still up to helping me to resolve it I will make an attempt this weekend. Let me know. Thanks so much. Zioni.

I guess so. My problem solving and understanding are up to reg. keys etc. I wonder at this point if despite the pain if it is not worth running Nlite all over, at least I am familiar with the steps, and aware of the pit falls. Zioni

I can tell you are very knowledgeable, but I have lost you when you got into the reg. entries etc. I guess it is due to my (limited then yours) understanding. At first I thought it will be simple, just locate the missing files (as per Beyond Compare) then insert them into my XP (or something like that) Once it got into the reg. entries I got lost... It seems to me very complex way just to recover one missing alt. language. On the other hand, when I get boot time of 20 sec. I dont want to mess with it...tough choices here. Is there anyway I can Dropbox you my XP iso so to assist me in recovering it. It seems that once you know your stuff, it take minuets. Thanks again! Zioni

Thanks for your input. I have watched these tutorials, the guy is way too vague (very knowledgeable though), and although I do have somewhat good understanding, my knowledge does not go as deep, I just lost him at some point... I thought they may be a way do just to drop the missing file/s into the installed XP I was trying to avoid running the Nlite again.

Hi, I have made a custom install from my original XP CD using Nlite, just to discover later on that my alternate language (Hebrew) is missing from the input language drop menu. I have tried all the traditional MUI install options from the Regional and Language menu, but nothing... Hebrew will not show as an option. I suspect that by mistake I have eliminated the Hebrew option from the custom install. At this point I do not have the Nlite custom file any longer, but my custom XP install is running flawlessly (except to the missing alt. language) so I was wondering if there is a way to embed the missing Hebrew language into my XP somehow, without the need to run the Nlite program again. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much! Zioni
