what3v3r Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 no it didnt work. i copied the entire i386 folder of the MUI pack in the i368 folder of the XPCD. but after the installation was finished i couldn't choose between the 2 languages.i guess that i have to reference the second language somewhere. its propably just one file i need to edit... anybody?

exXtreme Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hi,I have the same question. I want to make one bootable CD of Win XP Pro with MUI (multilingual User Interface Pack - only one additional language) and slipstreamed SP2 (including SP2 support tools, WMP9 and other stuff).And later I want to include Office 2003 slipstreamed with MUI (it will lead to bootable DVD, I know).Please, I know how to make slipstreamed XPs, but there I can't find any info about integration of MUI.Thanks for any advice or link.exXtreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Does it have to be slipstreamed? Or is a silent installation with switches also ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSweed Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Or you can use cmdlines.txt:[COMMANDS]"MUI-Setup.cmd"MUI-Setup.cmd:cmdow @ /HID@echo offFOR /F "TOKENS=3" %%I IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "SourcePath" ^| FINDSTR "SourcePath"') DO SET INSTALLCD=%%~dI%INSTALLCD%\_MUI-Setup\MUISETUP.EXE /i (language id ( + language id)) /d (default language id) /r /sexitAnd make a folder on the CD/DVD (root): _MUI-Setupwhere you put the xxx.mui folders and files:***.MUI (the languages You want to use)MUI.INFMUIQFE.EXEMUIQFE.INFMUISETUP.EXEMUISETUP.HLPREADME.TXTRELNOTES.TXTIt will install MUI from the CD/DVD.You can install more than one language, but you have to update hu1002_**_mui.exe (help update sp1, don´t know how it will do in sp2) for every language you install.Tried (in vmware) to install all languages and had to download 23 more updates (mentioned before).Hope this will help.

Kenny McCormick Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 From "README.TXT" on the MUI CD.=========================================================================5.0 INSTALLING MUI PACK IN UNATTEND MODE=========================================================================The following steps explain how to install the Windows MUI Pack in unattend mode. 1. Copy all the MUI files from MUI CDs into a temporary directory on a network share, such as $OEM$\MUIINST. In this example, we use a server \\MUICORE. The directory for the MUI CD contents will be \\MUICORE\UNATTEND\$OEM$\MUIINST.2. Add a "Cmdlines.txt" file in \\muicore\UNATTEND\$OEM$ that includes the following lines:[Commands]"muiinst\muisetup.exe [/i LangID1 LangID2 ...] [/d LangID] /r /s"Note that you must specify " " in your cmdlines.txt file. Use the appropriate Language ID (LANGID)s, and the muisetup command line parameters to ensure a quiet installation. Please check muisetup.hlp for a complete description of all the command line parameters for muisetup.exe (the command line help content is under "related topics" in the help.). 3. Create an answer file (mui.txt): a. add the following entries in the "Unattended" section [unattended] OemPreinstall=Yes OemFilesPath=\\muicore\unattend OemSkipEula=YES"OemFilesPath" must point to a network share or drive containing the MUI install source stored in the above directory structure. The Windows install sources can be anywhere else (CD, network share, etc).b. add a "RegionalSettings" section. Use this section to specify the Language Groups and locales to install. Use the appropriate Language Group IDs and Locale IDs (LCIDs). Ensure that the Language Groups you install are sufficient to cover BOTH the locale settings and the User Interface languages you are installing. Example: [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup="5","8","13" Language="0401"Of course, the answer file may also include other OS unattended setup options. 4. Run winnt32.exe with the appropriate options to use the answer file. If you require the installation of East Asian language and locale support, you must specify /copysource:lang or /rx:lang to copy the necessary language files. If you do not, and the [RegionalSettings] section of your answer file contains East Asian values, Setup will ignore everything in the [RegionalSettings] section. For Winnt32.exe, the appropriate syntax is: winnt32.exe /unattend:"path to answer file" /copysource:lang /s:"path to install source"Just make a folder called "MUIINST" in your "$OEM$" folder and add "muiinst\muisetup.exe [/i LangID1 LangID2 ...] [/d LangID] /r /s" to your "CMDLINES.TXT" file.Nice avatar Ironman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exXtreme Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Hi,I am not sure if this will work as expected. Correct installation order for SP1 and MUI was XP->MUI->SP1 (because SP1 has some updates to all MUIs). If you will install XP->SP1->MUI, you have to add SP1 again as last step. So in case I will use your way AND XP on CD will be slipstreamed with SP2, will I have installed MUI updated to MUI SP2.And there is no statement from MS that SP2 includes MUI patches as SP1 has.Sorry, may be it is trivial but I am confused now.Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiel Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 note 4 hebrew users :an sp2 4 hebrew win xp has yet not been released do don't try slipstreamingsp2 onto win xp heb.BUT what u can do is install win xp + sp2 in english, and then install the muipack on it and it 'll work just fine u can use ironman " trick " to make the hebpack installs after windows installation (with your batch file or runonce)Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadikan Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 exXtremeHave you tried to integrate SP2 in the Windows installation CD, then take the muisetup.exe file found in %windir%\MUI, and use this file to replace the muisetup.exe from the MUI CD?
