    Hi, I managed to install 9600.16384 tr-TR lp.cab on 9452.0.fbl_uex_txt. To do that, you need to replace most 6.3.9600.16384 with 6.3.9452.0 in .mum files.
    Assemblyidentities ending with LanguagePack which refer to .manifest files, you have to exclude them from replacement. Also InternetExplorer packages need to be have the value 11.0.9452.0. After that you gotta rename all .mum and .cat files.
    Replace all 9600.16384 with 9452.0 in filenames. After that, you need to mount your own install.wim file. Then, install the .mum file manually by the command line:
    Code:
    DISM /image:<mountpath> /add-package /packagepath:lp\update.mum /logpath:.\logfile.log
    The parameter /logpath is not required but will be helpful in case of errors. You might get either file not being found or identity mismatch. You need to edit .mum files according to that.
    After few trials and errors, I got the package installed. After that, I ran the command line to set default language:
    Code:
    DISM /image:<mountpath> /set-allintl:tr-TR
    If it is successful, it means the language pack is installed. Otherwise you need to check if the language pack is installed properly.
    Save and unmount the image.
    VirtualBox_Windows 8.1_30_10_2024_21_43_58.png
    It removed the confidentiality watermark.
    I can share the files I edited and the tool I created. However the tool is not perfect but does 90% of the editing. Rest 10% needs to be done manually by trial and error.
    9452 tr-TR was just an example. It should work well on other versions and other languages.
    Make sure that you stick to these three rules:
    1. Be reasonable: Please don't expect me to install Windows 11 language pack on Windows 7. For betas, install the language pack closer to the build. For example Windows 7 language pack for Milestone 1 (77xx-78xx) builds or Windows 8 language pack for post-Release Preview (84xx+) betas.
    2. Architectures: Architectures must match. For example you can't install x64 language pack on ARM32.
    3. Client-Server: Make sure that, you install Client language pack on Client builds and Server lp on Server builds.

    It is perfect. If you can share the tool it can be usefull also for the people. Not much i need such custom language packs, i try to be keep my works mostly rtm and service pack level. Can you edit my version too. It is 9841. I downloaded debombed version and replaced licensing files and it works very nice also activates. Can you share your edited language pack. First time in my life i see an edited language pack thats installable. It is awasome work. I hope your success continues

    Thank you. I'm gonna share the edited files only. You need to overwrite files to the original Windows 8.1 (9600.16384) x86 tr-TR language pack.
    I included the source code, so that you can edit the code to improve the tool. But like I said, it is not perfect. It can make missing/unnecessary edits, you may have to edit .mum files manually with trial and error.
    Command line example:
    Code:
    for %a in (lp\*.mum) do xmledit -i %a -x "-LanguagePack" -n "version" -m "6.3.9452.0" -v 3
    Parameters:
    -i: Input file
    -y: name of the block, assemblyIdentity by default.
    -s: string to include in lines
    -x: string to exclude from the lines
    -n: name of the data
    -m: new value
    -f: force to overwrite file
    -t <number>: number of tries on fails
    -v <level>: verbosity level
    -v 0: Silent
    -v 1: Error code only (Default)
    -v 2: List files
    -v 3: Details
    This tool is not enough to modify language packs.
    You need to install a software named ReNamer or a possible alternative tool to rename .mum and .cat files to accurate versions.

    Script to remove Unnecessary Appx and also remove Edge (Browser and WebView)..

    This adds photoview and associates (using Custom Default App Associations) from DISM.

    Adds a modification of start2.bin and defaultlayouts to clean the system of anchored bloatware, either in the Windows start menu or taskbar.

    (tested only for now on Windows 11 23H2) in theory it should work on Windows 11 22H2 and 24H2.

    Thanks to @pm67310
    for helping me with the tutorial on customizing the Windows 11 menu layout :)

    We will need packages for building, for activation we would have to use some Windows 8 RTM license file.

    In addition to package, it must be present in sessions.xml

    (in my opinion)
