Add Multilingual Support to Windows 8.1 Setup DVD - automated batch script

Think i may have found the issue i am trying to localize en_windows_8_1_pro_vl_x64_dvd_2971948 - which only has index 1

 

does not work on the iso i have as above

 

your script works 100% on the following iso versions....

en_windows_8_1_x64_dvd_2707217
en_windows_8_1_x86_dvd_2707392

however but it does not work with the released iso that contain the Rollup...

en_windows_8_1_pro_vl_x64_dvd_2971948
en_windows_8_1_pro_vl_x86_dvd_2972633

Dont understand why, its it because the first 2 iso are retail and the second 2 are v/l?

 

working now

 

Tested it now within VM, however an enjoying thing is that windows updates is offering the roll up updates again, as the GB language pack was installed during setup and therefore needs to update the files. This sort of cancels out what i was trying to do to have a GB Roll Up install.wim... and not have windows offer the updates again..

So is there a way to resolve this issue, as the GB language pack is pending install, see list of packages ..

thanks

if the script work 100% you can not find Choice of language at setup ,the script appears only the English language in the selection window will appear when boots




if you need Multilanguage appear on starup boot must the script include winpe-langpacks to see like the photo

 

my friends in photo one i have one language (english) only
how i can fix this problem ???
thank you
