    how to activate the installer in Polish? Currently, the installer is in English and you can choose Polish. I like a pretty clear their choice of language? I want him to be only Polish.

    "My friend" asks if this also applies to Enterprise versions and if not, why? Thanks!

    EDIT: Never mind, tested the nl language pack on Enterprise and it works. I must have confused it with W7 pro or something (don't remember, something with a W7Pro VM KMS server I made last year back before KMS emulators, could only find a US W7Pro then, that could only use a Dutch LP with some kind of trick).
    So this one works on Enterprise, thanks. I only put it in the install.wim, as I use JFX's WinNTSetup and Win8PESE for the boot and setup part anyways...
    So my 8.1 install.wim is looking pretty good now after removal of appx, adding NetFX3 and adding Dutch LP!
    THANKS!!

    I did replace all en-US Languages by de-DE in Windows, WinRE and setup as described in the technet article.
    My problem is: The created ISO is to big to fit on a DVD5. How can I decrease the size of the ISO? Is there any option for a stronger compression of the .wim files or something similar?

    (OP)
    I wouldn't go through all the trouble and localize the boot.wim that way - I mean, you will only only see this when you install Windows and IMO it's not worth the effort to localize setup. I would rather recommend (and include it in an updated version of the tutorial) to localize the recovery image that gets installed with Windows (located in install.wim, Windows\System32\recovery\winre.wim, Index 1), mount that after mounting the install.wim, it's basically the same procedure as for the boot.wim that murphy78 described.

    I don't want this thing to get too complex, because then I could link to the TechNet article right away. I simply want to provide something for people who just want to localize their Windows installation with the language of their choice as long as localized ISOs aren't available.

    Don't know when I can update it, today, tomorrow, much other stuff around here to do, but I'm on it. I'm upping some of the WinPE OCs (langpacks) for both x86 and x64 to MEGA while I'm writing this so people don't have to go and download the whole 2+GB ADK ISO to get the 8/11 MB they need. Will provide the links when I finished.

    Edit: See #2 post for links ;)

    For anyone who has integrated a language pack and now wonders why .NET 3 won't install, this guide might help:

    It seems that you have to install .NET before installing the language pack...
