Windows 8.x Language Packs

yes, you can remove all with en-us. Maybe first you have to install an other language.

Code:

DISM.exe /Image:D:\WIN8\WIM /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-WinPE-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-EnhancedStorage-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-IbsProvider-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-Scripting-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-SecureStartup-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-SRT-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-Setup-Client-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-Setup-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-WDS-Tools-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384 /packagename:WinPE-WMI-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~en-US~6.2.9200.16384

Maybe when finished removing en-us and installing your language, its better to export the images to a new boot.wim, so that unnecessary files are removed. Otherwise the boot.wim is bigger than before:

Code:

imagex /export x:\sources\boot.wim * x:\sources\new-boot.wim /compress maximum

Same with install.wim.

 

Less than 105 hours, every language pack will release on the net.

 

good information

 

The fully localized discs will be released as well, making the language packs completely useless for most users. No more messing with WIMs and dozens of dism parameters.

 

And i'm waiting to for the full localizated ISO's !!!

 

for x86 Language Pack Downloading... [%22]

 

At 15th August on MSDN which languages there will be available?

 

¿? Windows 8 Chinese; language pack not

 

Where do you add to this batch file command that finally removes the language en-us and keep only your language that you added (sl-si) Thanks.

 

Hey man are you gonna upload for us??

 

You can add this directly after adding your language.

@KenanK
I think this is not a languagepack but the Chinese x86 ISO

 

Hello,

1) Create directorys: D:\WIN8\DVD D:\WIN8\LP D:\WIN8\WIM
2) Extract Windows 8 installation DVD on D:\WIN8\DVD
3) Put your lp.cab on D:\WIN8\LP
4) Extract the folder "setup" from you lp.cab on D:\WIN8\LP\setup (to obtain all files on D:\WIN8\LP\setup; you can open cabs files with winrar)

5) Create an language.cmd file with inside:

6) run the language.cmd file as administrator

PS: i didnt test yet the shrink part (shrink size of wim).

Edit: Vellex remark (thank's to him)

 

This command should be after removing english language pack

Code:

dism /image:D:\WIN8\WIM /Set-SKUIntlDefaults:sl-si /Gen-LangINI /Set-SetupUILang:sl-si /distribution:D:\WIN8\DVD

because otherwise the lang.ini will still include english.

and this command is just to list packages. If you use batch file and already added the packages to remove, you don't need it

Code:

DISM /Image:D:\WIN8\WIM /get-Packages 

 

x86 ??

 

Something was not right, because more errors during the write process.

 

on my system often the mount directory is not empty after saving the first wim, so second wim or image (boot.wim in this case) will not be mounted.
So on my system i used for every image an own mount dir when using a batch file.

can you post the error?

 

Not leaked, all the packs will probably be available by Wednesday.
