    open the lang.ini file in the iso, it had to look like this:
    Code:
    [Available UI Languages]
    ar-SA = 2
    en-US = 3
    
    [Fallback Languages]
    en-US = en-us

    Thank you so much for your script. :)

    But I had a problem with the MUI4 script when the install.wim had more than 1 image in it. It skipped the language install and started exporting the install.wim and built the iso. It works perfectly with an iso who only have 1 image in the install.wim.

    MUI2 script works perfect though. Hope you will fix the MUI4 script.


    Thank you so much for your hard and good work.

    Fixed :)

    the problem was with this command to specify install.wim indexes count:
    Code:
    FOR /F "tokens=2 delims=: " %%i in ('dism.exe /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:%DVDPATH%\sources\install.wim ^| findstr /e "[0-9]"') DO set VERSIONS=%%~i
    the command works if install.wim is windows 7 or 8 (which i test), but it's not working with windows 8.1
    my fault was i didn't test it with 8.1 first before i add it :eek:
    i re-added the old imagex command

    Thanks for the report, and sorry for the inconvenience. :innocent:

    Thank you so much. Everything seems to work perfectly now :)
    Btw, can I use this script for adding language packs to win7 install.wim also?

    no, win7 needs some adjusments to fit
    and actually i already made a script for windows 7, but i did not had the intention to publish it here :biggrin:
    maybe i will soon :)

    Hi! Is it o.k fully apply to 5 Asian Languages (i.e. Korean), too? Before asking this issue, I have to test first with Script but I don't. Please ...
