    I just linked to your FAQ's thats it. I could remove the text FAQ in my thread if it helps.


    I just uploaded Chinese Taiwan (zh-tw) language pack and the removed polish.
    Seems like my MF account is going to hell soon:/

    Hi! I have installed Windows 8 Release Preview x32 bit and I have downloaded the Italian language pack for x86-x32 bit from link on mediafire. Now, I have launched the LPKSetup.exe program from Run and I have selected the LP. I have got this error: The language cannot be installed on this computer. Why????? Thanks for help.

    Most likely beacuse you are using the Release Preview and not RTM which the language pack is. Im not sure if the LP's can be used on CP, RP & RTM.

    mods can also do the cleaning later...why put genuine queries on hold till a mod is available to do the needful!!! a janitor does the cleaning after school not before!!!

    I wouldn't equate a mod with being a janitor.
