The rest of Update 1 still shows up after booting the image. So basically what's the point having a language pack update combined with Updated ISO, if I have to reapply everything in it if I throw in a language pack?
OK..., how about adding English to that localized ISO? I want multilanguage, not "another" language. Anyhow, on TechNet page: "Add the Windows 8.1 RTM language pack and then re-apply the update packages, either offline or online. If your PC has limited hard drive space, you might have to add the packages offline and perform all cleanup steps, as described earlier on this page." VS "To save time, OEMs can add the Windows 8.1 RTM language pack, and then install the corresponding language pack update for Windows 8.1 Update." That second statement is the reason why I bothered with getting the language pack update, but there seems to be no correct order for this
You mean for an install ISO and not just a post-install thing? You should know that all the language resources stay on the target drive regardless of language choice. The user would have to uninstall the undesirable languages.
Yes, I thought I can do this whole thing with an offline image. 8.1 Update ISO from MSDN + second language integrated with WU satisfied. As soon as I add the second language to the offline image, I have to reapply the whole Update (which was already there) as stated on the first bullet point. Now I understand that it is a requirement, because there were no other languages when MS applied the Update, so no other language resources are applied, naturally. But I thought that this "language pack update" they offer helps in my case (offline!). For the undesirable language point: I use these images in scenarios where some user use the secondary language, but some other (including Admin) use English display language. I think that's quite "normal". I prefer to use English as a base and fallback language.
In your case I would actually recommend starting with an 8.1 stock iso instead of an update iso. Add the languages, mod the boot.wim indexes and winre.wim files... change the appropriate lang.ini files When you have it satisfactory for pre-update conditions, integrate the updates and copy/paste the boot.wim and install.wim into an update iso's shell. It's actually pretty complicated. You gotta add all the little language versions of the winpe packages, set the various lang.ini features the way you like them, etc. It'd be much easier to just add them on demand. If you don't want to give a different language choice, it's actually pretty easy to add them... Code: dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\win81\sources\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\mount dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\lps\en-us\lp.cab dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2919442-x64.msu dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64.msu dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2932046-x64.msu dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2937592-x64.msu dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2934018-x64.msu dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2899189-x64.msu dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2933809-x64.msu dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2942844-x64.msu dism /image:c:\mount /add-package /packagepath:c:\msu\Windows8.1-KB2894853-x64.msu dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\mount /commit dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:c:\win81\sources\install.wim /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:c:\win81\install.wim /compress:max /checkintegrity move /y c:\win81\install.wim c:\win81\sources\
Thanks, I don't give choice for the user, display language can be changed later. Also that means (automated) Setup will be in English, that's OK for me. I ended up with a similar script when using preUpdate ISO as a base. I just don't know the purpose of these "language pack update" .msu-s... if someone can tell me the use-case, at least I can be certain that these are not meant for my problem. Thanks again for the support.
I think they're probably only good for the updated iso files since you cannot uninstall the update. I guess people could also just re-install said update, but these smaller kb files are easier to distribute.

I even don't see a good reason why VL versions are even made since enterprise is made for big companies
I have a DreamSpark key for 8.1 Pro, can I use it to activate 8.1 Pro with Update? (since I have already downloaded 8.1 from DreamSpark, they won't let me download 8.1 with Update...)
