The Black Cloud Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 you add the files to your uaCDbut have you add the files name to txtsetup.sif??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmack Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 it seems that you removed with Nlite something needed for MUI installation. try to recreate it again and don't touch language and MUI options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadikan Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 You can add the missing files via OEM folders. It's a quick and dirty solution that doesn't require recreating the whole distro. Kinda of a quick patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesmosis Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 yeah I think I removed the languages except English & Arabic,....does that affect the MUI thing?!anyway, I'll try both adviced above, TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltTeo Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 You've surely deleted something with Nlite. I had the same error. As I remember it was an Internet explorer interface (not core). If it's not i can post or send you Nlite settings secure for MUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacd Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 hey guyzI had 2 error messages along with failing to install the MUI, while when I installed it manually i got the same 2 errors but had success to change the interfacehowever, this is my cmdlines may clarify what's wrong I didand how do i know which SP is my MUI files? coz I got XPSP2+RyanVMized+Nlited+XpizedAhhhh this took me awhile to iron out as well but it finally works perfect everytime...First off, the command.txt seems to like it if you call a batch file instead of running straight from the file, therefore you should try making a file called MUI-setup.cmd and use the following code in it...FOR /F "TOKENS=3" %%1 IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "SourcePath" ^| FINDSTR "SourcePath"') DO SET INSTALLCD=%%~dI%INSTALLCD%\_MUI-SETUP\MUISETUP.exe /i 0401 /d 0401 /l /f /r /sexitYour next step should be to put everythign you need in to the _MUI-Setup folder_MUI-Setup\ | XXX.MUI\ <-- This should be your MUI Language File | | I386\ | | (All the files in this directory) | | EULA.TXT | MUI.INF | MUI.tx_ | MUISETUP.EXE | MUISETUP.GID | MUISETUP.HLP | README.TXT | RELNOTES.TXT |___Now reference your MUI-Setup.cmd file in to cmdlines.txt as the first thing to be installed[COMMANDS]"MUI-SETUP.cmd"(anythign else)Now when you nLite the CD, make sure that you you take special note as there are two thing that should not be uninstalled if you are goign to use an MUI...I believe one of them is the CHM files and maybe the help files.....sorry I can't remember off the top of my head, but I do know there is a note of it when you select the item (says somethign along the lines of do not install if you plan to use a MUI)Anyway, you can remove pretty much everything out of the LANG folder except for your language or any other files that might be needed in there by you.After that it should install ok for you....I have done this with nlite+RyanVM 2.0.1+xpsize with no problems thus far.

AltTeo Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 OK. Here is the russian MUI for Windows XP. For other languages you can do the same way (it's very simple). It integrates as hotfix with nLite (and RVM integrator). http://rapidshare.de/files/11864641/MUI.part1.rar.html http://rapidshare.de/files/11864874/MUI.part2.rar.htmlYou can download MUI packs at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=enThey say that those packs are for Windows XP Embedded. But as I remember they also suites Windows XP Pro and Home. To integrate MUI clearly you should not delete with nLite following components:Network|Internet Explorer Operating System Options|Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilou_Gateux Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) OK. Here is the russian MUI for Windows XP. For other languages you can do the same way (it's very simple). It integrates as hotfix with nLite (and RVM integrator).Could you explain how you build a package for your own language. Nobody except Russian will be interested by your MUI package: tools used (7zip, cabarc...) and scripts.I'm not very familiar with using packages built by others and prefer 'do it yourself method' if i find detailled infos (how to).

Vadikan Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 @Bilou_GateuxJust run the admin install on the CD: setup.exe /a and "install" the languages you need.http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltTeo Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) OK. 1. We are speaking about Windows XP Pro SP2 (Home edition officially does not support MUI, but in fact it can be used, SP2 - just because I'm using it and tested it).There are two technics to translate windows interface, MUI (Multilingual User Interface) and LIP (Language Interface Pack). With MUI every user can choose his own language, and LIP translates the whole system for everyone. So we are speaking about MUI.2. Great help is http://www.xpmuirus.narod.ru (but it is in russian).3. You should get MUI for your language: 1) It's on your Windows disk. 2) You can download all official Microsoft MUI packs, see attachment (more than 4Gb). 3) You can make MUI pack yourself:- download appropriate pack from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en- download tool for converting http://xpmuirus.narod.ru/files/muitrans_uni.zip- put both files in one folder and unzip "muitrans_uni.zip"- in file "muitrans_uni.cmd" edit variable string "set MUI_LANG=GER" (change GER to your language, your language short name mentioned in first file name you downloaded from Microsoft)- after that just run "muitrans_uni.cmd", and your MUI pack will be compiled in MUI_XP folder.4. If you have your MUI pack than archive it to a self extracting exe (extracting to temporary folder) which should launch after extraction "muisetup.exe /i 0419 /d 0419 /l /f /r /s" (change every 0419 for your language number).5. Thats all. Now you can put your file as hotfix by hands or make an addon for nLite: 1) Create a folder put in it file "ENTRIES_MUI.ini" (see attachment) 2) create there a new folder called "SVCPACK" 3) Rename yours self-extracting file with MUI to "MUI.exe" 4) Change descriptions in file "ENTRIES_MUI.ini" (it is not realy nessesary) 5) Compress folder "SVCPACK" and file "ENTRIES_MUI.ini" to cab archive.You've done it.ENTRIES_MUI.INItorrent.rar Edited January 28, 2006 by AltTeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 But the above link to MS site for MUI download, is for SP1!Also, is the above torrent legitimate?If it is not, then please remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltTeo Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Maybe for SP1 but it works. I don't know if Microsoft sells MUI. But anyway I tested the torrent and it does not work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadikan Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Windows XP MUI is available for volume license customers only and not available for retail. I imagine converting Embedded MUI to XP MUI violates the EULA. In such a case, there's no difference whether you obtain Windwos XP MUI from the sources other than MS or convert the Embedded MUI.
