    I added Language packs to the repository. Any direct links from Microsoft or Digital River (or any other legitimate retailer) I can only assume they are free for the taking if they aren't gated by a login or any authentication. I'm leery of posting links to a third party site / file sharing site or a torrent as there is a "no warez" rule.

    It's not Warez, or torrents or something like that. It's direct link to Digital River, thats sells download version of Microsoft products. You have seen the Windows 7 Direct link thread? This is the same way.

    If they are not charging anything for those language packs it is illegal ( check Microsoft itself: you can't get ANY language pack free of charge ) . I'm not concerned about MS missing out on all that cash ( don't get me wrong ) but am simply worried they'll force this site to close down in its entirety .

    The're not charging anything for those language packs though ( don't know about Windows itself ) and that in itself is illegal because you're distributing unlicensed copies .

    There is no Product key on the LP on the MSDN/Technet either, but you have a point. Still, we can see if MS do anything about it. They have not closed down the Windows 7 Digital River thread, and thats has been here since 03.January.2010

    I know. I'm just pointing out- as a warning or whatever you might call it - that as of very recently the language packs are being sold by Microsoft and they might be a tad angry if they find sites distributing them without payment . It's not a matter of principle on my part ,just a bit of info :)

    They also sell Office and we have direct links, they sell Windows 7 and we have direct links.

    Now I haven't been able to test, but I believe that Language packs require product keys and activation. So on their own the files won't give you usable merchandise, it depends what you do with it that will determine whether it's legal or not. Same case as Office and Windows downloads. I believe giving direct links provides a useful service to people that have paid for these products, but lost or weren't given installation media.

    Windows XP SLP keys were hit with a DCMA takedown notice and mydigitallife complied. They haven't said anything about the other materials (download links, and other "tools"), and it would be foolish to think Microsoft isn't aware of this site. We'll take it as it comes.

    Thank you myhken!
    yeap.. it was that picture I was talking about. But the correct way is to go File - Help. Because there is a help button on the upper right screen corner that does not take you to that picture.
    Anyway, thanks for your fast and kind reply.

    Of course - File - Help is the correct way. But you found out of it... :)

    The script in the OP works only for default location, though the users can manually change the script according to the their installation locations to make it work, otherwise they can use the script by MD or CODYQX4's Toolkit..
    I can provide the links if needed..

    According to MD, the script might work but it has not yet tested. You can confirm if it works?

    Yes i tested the original office script and it works..donno about XP, but works on 7
    Also, i am referring to the original office script, not the one he posted on Universal KMS thread which activates Windows as well..i mean i didnt test this new script yet:)

    For it to work it has to be a clean install(can be on any drive), since that script doesn't install the default key..doesn't work on corrupted installs, and i am not sure about retail to converted versions..
