Mui language problem

[lello]

After installing the mui language, ok .... all the menus of explorer were not even translated and automatic updates.

How can I do this manually? Thank !

Just now saw your problem

You'll need to change the version number in shell32.dll.mui to the same as %systemroot%\system32\shell32.dll

General Steps:

Open %systemroot%\system32\shell32.dll with Reshack

Make a note of the version number (towards the bottom)

MAke a copy of shell32.dll.mu_ to "shell32.dll.mu_ org" (or something else)

EXPAND shell32.dll.mu_ shell32.dll.mui

Open shell32.dll.mui with Reshack

Replace the version numbers to be exactly like shell32.dll

Press "Compile"

Save and over-write

Close Reshack

Erase shell32.dll.mu_

MAKECAB shell32.dll.mui shell32.dll.mu_

Copy and replace shell32.dll.mu_ back to the MUI folder.

Uninstall MUI

Reinstall MUI

If you need more help - let me know.

Good luck and let me know how you fared,

Hello!

I have successfully created an unattended XP installation with the a Hebrew language pack.

Works like a charm if I don't intend to change the MUI, meaning I leave it in English.

But, if I do change the MUI, I get mixed content (some parts in Hebrew, ex: the "Start", and some parts in English, ex: My computer Icon, My documents Icon).

Since the original XP is international (English), I can only slipstream a SP in English.

After installing, and applying the MUI pack, not everything changes (Because the the integrated SP is English).

I tried creating an unattended setup with the Hebrew SP, but I get the error that the SP and the original setup aren't the same language.

Is there a way to overcome this paradox?

Thanks for your help!

[***** Edit *****]

I did some trial and error, here are the results.

The first was in the following installation order:

1) original XP

2) Language Pack

3) Service Pack(the English one)

The result is good - all menus and dialogs are in the specific MUI that was installed.

The second time I changed the installation order:

1) original XP

2) Service Pack (the English one)

3) Language Pack

The result was not good, some menus are in English, some are in the language of the language pack - meaning the same result of the nlited version I described in the original topic.

Hope someone has found a solution to this.

AFAIK from my previous experiences it is not possible to slipstream the MUI into the i386 source folder of the Windows XP installation disc.

You could try to create an unattended setup of the MUI files, and integrate it into the OEM folder so they get installed during the Windows setup.

Hey m-p{3}!

Thanks for your reply.

You could try to create an unattended setup of the MUI files, and integrate it into the OEM folder so they get installed during the Windows setup.

I already did that, but I ended with a mixed content of the windows GUI.
