How to slipstream language file in WinXP CD ?


Recommended Posts


The link provided by Ctrl-X should help you correctly.

Also, if you search this forum, you should find many topics covering this point.

However, and by experiment, adding an Arabic MUI into English Windows XP does not help at all. (I hate it!)

Better yet, get Windows XP Arabic, instead. (You'll love it!)

However, I like and am familiar with English UIs because I always learned in English.

I can't follow what Ctrl-X's links say, so if u have a simple tutorial explaining that, please post the link here.

I have my reasons to ask for integrating Arabic GUI into English Version..

First, by using MUI i can switch between languages.

Second, some softwares dont support Arabic version of WinXP.

third, my orignal windows xp is English.!

hamed I think I can help you with this. first you got to have all the file of the MUIARABIC copied to the folder C:\xp\$OME$\$1\install\applications

then make the following changes to the answer file WINNT.SIF

[RegionalSettings]

LanguageGroup=13

SystemLocale=0401

UserLocale=0401

InputLocale=0409:00000409,0401:00000401

Then put the following command in the main_batch

ECHO.

ECHO Installing MUI

ECHO Please wait...

start /wait %systemdrive%installApplicationsMUIARABICmuisetup.exe -i 0401 -d 0401 -r -s

---------------------------------------

This has worked fine with me. but I had a small problem which I'm still searching for a solution (maybe someone here will help in this)

After everything is install and I go and change the language to Arabic everything changes to Arabic except for the desktop item they remain in English.

I tried this method after slipstreaming all the hot fixes but when I tried it again without slipstreaming the hot fixes it worked 100%
