    Your tuto is great, all rocks ^^.

    Help files are not localized. For example, launch internet explorer and press F1.
    (Probably i make an error but i don't know where :p

    Anyone having the same problem?

    Execute:
    And get this:
    Log:
    Paths are fine, installed the INF, all files in order... any idea?

    BTW, I noted:
    DISM WIM Provider: PID=3584 d:\w7rtm\base\ntsetup\opktools\dism\providers\wimprovider\dll\wimmanager.cpp

    Where did that path came from? (working with DISM.7z+Wimmount_x86.7z)

    Update:
    - I can mount the WIM with index 4... ISO is x86 and Ultimate...

    No, it's by default.
    You can note this by the size of various language packs.
    English is about 150 MB while italian (and surely all others) only about 50 MB.
    Translators at Redmond must be still at work. I think that only various languages iso images released by MS will have the translated help files.

    Help-Files are in your language

    Hey guys, you are wrong. The Help files are all translated. You just have to switch to Offline-Help to see everything in your language. In my case everything is in german. The only thing the haven't done by now, is to make the help-files available in your language online on their server.

    Greetings,
    Smithy

    have any possibility to translate the initial boot?

    "C:\7Work\DVD\boot\en-us" to "C:\7Work\DVD\boot\pt-br" example

    everything is very good but the initial boot is still in English.

    thanks shadow!!!

    :D

    I'm going to analyze this point, to see if something could be done.

    I made a change that worked.

    I took my boot files from the directory "c:\Windows\Boot\DVD\pt-BR" and modified files from the boot today.

    it worked only the first sentence "press any key cd or dvd .." This text has been changed because I copied u file in case "bootfix.bin"

    to change the initial boot of the dvd I believe we should also include the repair of the DVD.

    the tutorial is great if you can integrate more it is to be 100%.

    thanks again.

    I had no time today to "explore" the whole thing, maybe monday I'll have more time.


    You can do it with the same command line to add the language pack, but you have to change the LP.cab file with the update file (.msu). Remember to install first the LPs and local packs and then the updates, as the updates can have some language update included (Microsoft tells so).


    EDIT: guide upgraded, now includes how to integrate drivers and Windows Update patches.

    You installed an old driver on Win7: this could be the error.
    Why have you installed those drivers? Follow the guide in my signature, it's always up to date with latest corrections.

    And modifying a vlited modified image often lead to problems.

    i have found a bug:
    [Available UI Languages]
    fr-FR = 3

    [Fallback Languages]
    fr-FR = en-US

    it must be:
    [Available UI Languages]
    fr-FR = 3

    [Fallback Languages]
    fr-FR = fr-FR

    please edit your tutorial before you let more people in the dark;)

    i noticed it with pleasure and it is a great tutorial nice work mate:cool:

    DISM itself generate the lang.ini file in this manner. And in TechNet they say lang.ini should not be modified manually.
    The fallback language is used when the default language is not fully translated ("only partially localized") and the untranslated parts will appear in the language selected there.
    fr-FR = en-US means that if something is not translated in french (almost impossible, french is a main language), it will be showed in english. And even if we removed en-US, the Win7 basic files are always in english.
    In conclusion, it should not change nothing between the two versions if the language we installed is fully transalted. Instead unexpected behavior can be possible if a not fully translated language is installed, so it's better leave the option as indicated.


    EDIT: I've found how we could change the initial steps of setup, but I need the final Windows AIK or OPK, as the latest available (RC build 6.1.7100.0) may be not fully compatible.
    The trick is to replace step X in my guide with this and try if it works. I'll put it there for now and I will make changes to the guide when I fully understand the mechanisms.

    X) ADDING AND REMOVING BOOT LANGUAGES
    Copying other files needed for boot/setup.
    [We must take the WinPE language packs from a Windows OPK or AIK DVD and copy to F:\7Work]
    [We'll copy the fr-FR folder if we're french and we will have F:\7Work\fr-FR containing a dozen .cab files]
    [I will place those preparation steps at the beginning of the guide]
    Then type the following:
    Code:
    dism /image:F:\7Work\wim /Add-Package /PackagePath:F:\7Work\fr-FR
    and DISM will try to install all packages in the folder (those not compatible will not be installed automatically).
    [There I get an error: a .cab file that is needed is not compatible, surely because of the different build versions.]
    Optional step: remove the english files:
    Code:
    dism /image:F:\7Work\WIM /Remove-Package /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-WinPE-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~en-US~6.1.7600.16385
    [There are more than 1 package to remove, I will post the correct list when I will do more tests, this is only a concept work :) If you can't wait, you can get the installed packages with dism /image:F:\7Work\WIM /Get-Packages and then remove all those signed as Language pack and that have en-US in the name]
    Finally, generate a new lang.ini:
    Code:
    dism /image:F:\7Work\WIM /Gen-LangINI /distribution:F:\7Work\DVD
    [I should place a note to tell that if you remove (or not) english from the install.wim, you must do the same choiche in boot.wim also, otherwise the lang.ini created now in F:\7Work\DVD\sources will be different from the one created in step V (the lang.ini of step V will be overwritten by this step X).]
    Then restart from step IX changing the /index: value to 1 this time.

    Another problem I found, is that there are only DE, ES, FR and JP as WinPE languages. Maybe on final build of Win AIK (or OPK) there are all languages.
    I'm downloading a torrent of WOPK RTM. It looks bigger than WAIK RC. I hope it has all language packs, so I can upload them (they're not too big, 4-5 MB each full language).


    EDIT: yes, on WOPK RTM there are all language packs for WinPE. I'll start doing tests when I return from seaside :D
