Cannot install the selected language


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all,

Let me start by saying I'm very glad a program like vLite exists to facilite reinstalling Windows Vista since I do mess around quite a bit.

I have been able to slipstream SP1 into my Vista Home Premium x86 disc and create an ISO.

The vLited disc I then burned allowed me to boot up the computer from it and start the installation, up to the point where the copied files were being extracted.

I got the following error: "Cannot install the selected language" (literal translation from Dutch -the language im trying to install).

I've downloaded and installed vLite 1.2, along with the AIK (tho I've now gone ahead and downloaded vLite 1.1.6 as well and updated that version so I don't have to use the AIK anymore).

Popped in my OEM recovery disc, which is multilingual (English, French, Dutch, Italian and German) but only allows installation of the Home Premium version.

Copied the entire content to a folder on my harddrive and initiated slipstreaming with the mulitlingual version of SP1.

I've then tried both options to create the ISO and stored them on my harddrive.

Burned two discs, but I get the same error with both when trying to install the OS.

I've reinstalled Vista using the OEM disc and checked the vLited disc, the language files for Dutch are on the disc, but when I open setup.exe, it only offers me the choice of English, French, German and Italian, not Dutch, which is strange since I can select Dutch when booting up from it and starting the installation.

I've tried installing all four other languages and that worked fine, so I'm not sure what's causing this problem.

I haven't removed any components or integrated any hotfixes.

I hope someone has any ideas or suggestions how I can get it to work.

If there is any other information I can supply to help solve the problem, I'd be more than happy to.
