By the way. That link is before SP1. Folders changed alittle.

Best and most easy way is.

Mountrw boot.wim 2

edit lang.ini

unmount commit

then change boot.ini in DVD image.

English files will be in boot.wim. But in menu u will not see it.

The language folders are still there but you cannot chose them in the installation.

Is it possible not use WAIK to remove the language pack? It is very difficult for me to download WAIK with my very slow internet connection. As you can see in the screenshot, the language pack (other than English) is integrated and I can't remove it. The installation file is from the only setup disk originally from my computer manufacturer.
