Windows 7 Language Pack deployment
in [Windows Update]
|
From: manserv on 24 Feb 2010 03:24 I would like to let the users decide which language pack should be installed on "their" system. With Vista this was no problem. But Microsoft doesn't deliver MUI packs for Windows 7 through WSUS. What other options do I have? It should be possible for a standard user (_NOT_ admin mit UAC). I tried importing the language packs but this fails: -- Dim iUpdateServer As IUpdateServer Dim proxy As New AdminProxy iUpdateServer = AdminProxy.GetUpdateServer("wsus", True) Dim myStrArr() As String = {} Try iUpdateServer.ImportUpdateFromCatalogSite("19320806-4280-48FC-8AC7-145B5895EA89", myStrArr) Catch ex As Exception Console.WriteLine(ex) Console.ReadKey() Finally iUpdateServer = Nothing End Try -- Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.WsusObjectNotFoundException: requested updates in GetRelatedRevisionsForUpdates do not exist on MU bei Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.SoapExceptionProcessor.Deserial izeAndThrow(SoapException soapException) bei Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DatabaseAccess.AdminDataAccessProxy.Cat alogSiteGetMetadataAndImport(Guid updateId, Byte[][] downloadedFileDigests) bei Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.UpdateServer.ImportUpdateFromCa talogSite(String updateIdStr, String[] downloadedFilePaths) bei ConsoleApplication1.Module1.Main() in ConsoleApplication1\Module1.vb:Zeile 10. --

From: manserv on 25 Feb 2010 08:05 hello PA Bear, why are you pointing me to the WSUS newsgroup? As I said, Windows 6.1 MUI packs aren't offered through WSUS any more and I am looking for an different solution.
From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 25 Feb 2010 09:41 To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you quote all of the previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Most of us do not access these newsgroups via the clunky forum-interface you're using and do not have instant access to all posts in a given thread. Without quoting, we have no idea what you're referring to. Thank you.

Hello PA Bear, like your first reply my was off topic so I omited citation. the steps in KB972813 to install MUI packs require administrative privileges. >> It should be possible for a standard user (_NOT_ admin mit UAC). "Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Enterprise and Ultimate" - but not through WSUS like it is with Vista. (http://blog.wsuspraxis.de/produkt-support/) Because Microsoft has abandoned language deployment through WSUS I think I will have to make msi from the MUI packs that employ lpksetup.exe and use http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259459 (How to allow users who are not administrators to install MSI packages).
