problem with WAIk and language cab

[nuja]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a new language to my vista by using WAIK and im at that step:

"Intlcfg -genlangini -dist:c:\windows_distribution -image:c:\wim_mount -all:de-DE"

(i replace de-DE by fr-fr (my language))

it tells me that:

"ERROR: API call failed with following error(s):

Could not set UI Language.

UI language is not installed.

ERROR: IntlCfg has encountered an error."

When i type: "C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Intlcfg.exe" -report -dist:D:\windows_distribution

it tells me that:

"

D:\>"C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\Intlcfg.exe" -report -dist:D:\windows_distribution

Reporting distribution languages...

The default language in the distribution is:

en-US

The other available languages in the distribution are:

fr-fr

"

Can someone help me please ?

[edit]: are there ways, easier than that to add language ?

thank in advance.

Hi

You first need to install the language pack into your mounted vista wim, to do that you need to create an xml which includes your lp.cab.

It may look like this:

	?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
	<unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
	   <servicing>
	      <package action="install">
	         <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package" version="6.0.6000.16386" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="fr-FR" />
	         <source location="D:\lp.cab" />
	      </package>
	   </servicing>
	   <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:D:/windows_distribution/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
	</unattend>

And then in your "PE Tools command prompt" type this:

Servicing\pkgmgr /o:"C:\wim_mount\;C:\wim_mount\Windows" /n:"D:\Your.xml"

Installation will take a while...

After this you can set your language to default with intlcfg command:

intlcfg -genlangini -dist:D:\windows_distribution -image:c:\wim_mount -defaultlang:fr-FR -all:fr-FR

And then unmount your image:

imagex /unmount /commit c:\wim_mount

2007-02-03 16:02:50, Info CBS Pkgmgr: return code: 0x57"

My Your.xml:

"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</servicing>

<cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:D:/windows_distribution/sources/install.wim#Windows Vista ULTIMATE" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />

My vista is an Ultimate x64 only.
