Hi I have been trying to change my language all day but I cant seem to execute the command "dism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\lp.cab" in my command prompt. I get the above error. I have downloaded the language pack and put it in my root C drive and renamed it ip.cab Any ideas what I´am doing wrong would be welcome!
I dont know, why dont you tell me? ( dubblu dubblu dubblu dot ) superuser.com/questions/666978/how-to-install-a-new-display-language-onto-windows-8-1-single-language
You *CAN* use a different language with your same key, but you have to re-install Windows with the specified single language ISO. So try to find the single language in the preferred language for download and then install from boot.
It really that hard to wrap your mind around the idea of a "Single Language" version of Windows? It's designed so that you cannot change the language.
So the guys over at super user that have posted how to do this are wrong? Maybe I should just bow down to your superior intellect and accept that Murphy knows all. Or, maybe you should try to post helpful comments on the things that you at least know something about!
perhaps you would have better luck with superuser then? Murphy does know damned near all there needs to be known about integration btw
I just signed up, asked a valid question and the response was less than helpful. It was rude! I belong anywhere where people are civil and act with respect. It seems that this post is just going to get bombarded with Murphys mates now. Great, all I wanted was a solution to my problem. To be told it cant be done when it has been done and is being done by others is really disappointing. If there is someone with some info then please post, otherwise stay out of it!
These are the commands I wanted to use: dism /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\lp.cab dism /Online /Get-Packages > c:\file.txt dism /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~ru-RU~6.3.9600.1638
Like I said above, only offline LP servicing shall be done to MUI-unsupported SKUs. Boot into recovery console. Assuming Windows is installed to the first partition of the first drive (not counting EFI/MSR partitions) . When booted to PE, drive letters do shift, and MSR is assigned C: . So: Code: dism /image:D: /get-packages /format:table | findstr /C:LanguagePack //copy the name of the package to remove dism /image:D: /Add-Package /PackagePath:D:\lp.cab dism /image:D: /Remove-Package /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~ru-RU~6.3.9600.16384 dism /image:D: /Set-SKUIntlDefaults:target //where target is the locale of the CAB added earlier //reboot if the bootscreen change to Vista's and the bootloader is displayed in the classic UI, don't panic - log in, open an administrator console in the system, and change the locale of the bootloader as described earlier to match the LP code selected.
He doesn't always post to help out the little guys, but when he does, he prefers dos equis. Thx arseny92
