    My goal is to build a home/professional edition of windows 7 w/SP1 which offers the option to choose between English/Chinese during Windows Welcome, based on the leaked English ISO and Chinese language packs.

    I saw the following on MSDN suggesting it is possible:

    So I basically (1) mount the install.wim, (2) add the lp.cab, (3) update lang.ini, (4) unmount and commit. Repeat for all 5 indexes (x86 ISO has 5 indexes, x64 has 4 indexes). And then do the same thing to boot.wim (index 2 only, with WinPE LangPacks) and delete ei.cfg. The codes are:

    Code:
    dism /mount-wim /wimfile:windows\sources\install.wim /name:"Windows 7 Professional" /mountdir:mount
    dism /image:mount /add-package /packages-path:lp.cab
    dism /image:mount /gen-langini /distribution:windows
    dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:mount /commit
    the new lang.ini under ISO:\sources\ and in boot.wim look like this:

    Code:
    [Available UI Languages]
    en-US = 3
    zh-CN = 2
    
    [Fallback Languages]
    en-US = en-us
    The newly built ISO boots fine in Virtual PC, and I can choose language for setup and the windows-to-install. But the problem is if I choose to install home/pro in the newly added language (Chinese), after "expanding files" goes to 100%, I always get this 0x80000001 error, saying "Windows could not set the offline locale information":

    VPC.jpg

    If I choose English version, the setup can be done, but NO language selection dialog prompted during OOBE. And in the new system "dism /online /get-packages" shows no Chinese LangPacks installed.
    If I choose Ulimate in either English or Chinese, everthing works pefect. The Windows get installed and I can switch between two languages later on.

    I've tried a couple of combinations with /set-allintl /set-skuintldefaults and /gen-langini, but with no luck.

    Any suggestion guys?

    Fixed
    Code:
    dism /mount-wim /wimfile:DVD\Sources\install.wim /Index:4 /mountdir:mount
    dism /image:mount /add-package /packagepath:lp.cab
    dism /image:mount /gen-langini /distribution:windows
    dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:mount /commit

    tcntad, thanks for the correction. But it's my typo here, I did everythings right with my automatic batch.

    Still waiting for answers.

    By the way, does anyone know any ISO having this "select language during OOBE" feature that I can download to have a look.

    Well I have one but its not uploaded anywhere and its 6 GB with my apps and windows updates (.msu) until november last year :p

    Hm I see now in my own script that its
    Code:
    DISM.exe /Mount-Wim /WimFile:DVD\Sources\Install.wim /Index:2 /MountDirMount
    DISM.exe /Image:Mount /Add-Package /Packagepath:\LP.cab
    DISM.exe /Image:Mount /Gen-LangINI /Distribution:DVD
    DISM.exe /UnMount-Wim /MountDir:Mount /Commit
    
    You seem to be using genlangini for windows and not dvd as I do. Works great for me:)

    DVD or Windows, or called distribution on MSDN, as long as it's the folder you extract all the files from the ISO.

    It's quite weird. If the same script works for you.

    My actual slipstreaming script is quite complex, so maybe something gets wrong without notice. I'll try to trim down other things see what result I get.

    The script will:

    1) clone itself (Run.cmd), then call the clone by "Temp\RunTemp.cmd >log.log 2&1>". This is done in purpose of logging.
    2) the clone will check whether it is elevated and the existence of lang packs.
    3) the clone will extract msu/cab from IE9 installer, and put the msu/cab into Extra folder
    4) all msu/cab in Extra folder will be added alongside with extracted IE9.
    5) the clone will add lang pack to install.wim, boot.wim, and winre.wim, you can choose which install.wim index to modify with predefined variables.
    6) pass back to the original script, and delete all temp files
    7) build an ISO when everything is done.
    8) the number of error occured during excution is stored and displayed in the end. Time for each phase is also displayed.

    So in couple of hours, I get a new iso and detailed logs.

    The echo and comments are in Chinese, but if anyone interested I can make a English one.

    To make it run, your need to make your folders look like this, other wise you'll get "严重错误:... ... ..." error messages:

    Extra
    LangPacks
    LangPacksWinPE
    Tools
    Windows
    Run.cmd

    The lang packs folders are pretty self explained. Put all lang packs under respective folders with its original name, like lp.cab, LP_??-??.cab, WINPE-*.cab.
    Under tools, you need to have oscdimg.exe, ETFSBOOT.com, both from Windows AIK/OPK. ETFSBOOT.com contains the bootable sector of windows setup DVD.

    Yes I did search and read the post you listed. I did understand langpacks can't be added to non-ult/ent windows 7 once it is installed.

    But my problem is the 0x8000001 "Windows could not set the offline locale information" error during windows installing. I saw somebody in another MDL multilanguale tutorial post reporting the same problem, but his solution is to avoid serving edtions other than ulimate/enterprise.

    Weird:/ and yes you can change language using dism once windows is installed;)

    Add language pack
    Edit bcdedit current locale
    edit bcdboot / locale

    remove keys in registry:)

    you should try using the script ttmax posted or integrate using my method... either way works fine and no one ever had problems
    then you need to remove any other complications... get rid of IE9, it's beta and has no reason to be part of a windows install disc anyway

    Thank you guys. I've nailed down the bug in my script where I used "dism /mount-wim /wimfile /name" but should use "dism /mount-wim /wimfile /index". So everything works perfect now. Revise had been down to the script posted in #7.

    tcntad, Kouryu, thank you!
