    Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~pl-PL~10.0.22621.1 is not up to date, therefore an error occurs. The language pack with ESD or SXS source is better; with the SXS pack, all files are up to date and it avoids duplicates in the SXS folder. This is also the principle of rebuilding: avoid having an SXS file that exceeds 7 GB compressed.

    Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package28000.1 error

    You create your OS 22621.2428 with UUP Dump, the 4 versions (core, coren, pro, pron), and you extract the files, and then you use

    Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package22621.2428 mum

    Code:
    You need to correct

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\zSOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]
"ProgramFilesDir"="X:\\$windows.~bt\\Program Files"
"CommonFilesDir"="X:\\$windows.~bt\\Program Files\\Common Files"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\zSOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"SystemRoot"="X:\\$windows.~bt\\Windows"

Should be

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\zSOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion]
"ProgramFilesDir"="X:\\Program Files"
"CommonFilesDir"="X:\\Program Files\\Common Files"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\zSOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"SystemRoot"="X:\\Windows"
    need to remove $windows.~bt\\
