1.0 ABOUT THE MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP MULTILINGUAL USER INTERFACE PACK (MUI)
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
|
||
The Windows XP operating systems provide extensive support for international
|
||
users, addressing many multilingual issues such as regional preferences, fonts,
|
||
keyboard layouts, sorting orders, date formats and Unicode support.
|
||
|
||
The Windows XP Multilingual User Interface Pack builds on top of
|
||
this support by adding the capability to switch the User Interface (menus,
|
||
dialogs and help files) from one language to another. This feature helps make
|
||
administration and support of multilingual computing environments much
|
||
easier by:
|
||
|
||
* allowing workstations to be shared by users who speak different
|
||
languages
|
||
|
||
* facilitating the roll-out of one system company-wide, with the
|
||
addition of User Interface languages as they become available.
|
||
This allows the same US English service pack to update all machines.
|
||
|
||
The Windows XP Multilingual User Interface Pack allows
|
||
each user of a workstation to select one of the installed User Interface
|
||
languages. This selection is then stored in their user profile. When a
|
||
user logs on, the appearance of the system and the help files associated
|
||
with the system components change to the selected language. (Note that
|
||
this is not quite the same as running a localized version. The Multilingual
|
||
User Interface Pack is based on the English version of Windows XP. )
|
||
|
||
The ability to read and write documents in each of the languages
|
||
supported by Windows XP is a feature of every version of Windows
|
||
XP, not just of the Windows XP Multilingual User
|
||
Interface Pack. However, the ability to switch User Interface languages
|
||
is only provided by the Windows Multilingual User Interface Pack.
|
||
|
||
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
2.0 BEFORE INSTALLING MUI SUPPORT FROM MUI CDs
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
|
||
Before you install any of the files from the Windows Multilingual User
|
||
Interface Pack CDs, you must complete the installation of Windows
|
||
XP from the English version of Windows XP CD.
|
||
|
||
To install any language user interface support, run MUISETUP.EXE from the
|
||
MUI CDs. Each MUI CD includes a group of different MUI language support
|
||
files. You will only be able to install the languages that are included
|
||
on the same CD at one time. If you want to install languages included
|
||
on another CD, please run the MUISETUP from that CD. You can click the
|
||
"Help" button on the MUISETUP.EXE screen to learn how to use MUISETUP.EXE.
|
||
|
||
To find out which CD includes which UI language files, you can browse the
|
||
CD to see which sub-folders are included on the CD. Each sub-folder includes
|
||
the MUI package for a particular matching UI language. The UI languages and
|
||
their sub-folder names are listed below:
|
||
|
||
LanguageID Language MUI Sub-folder
|
||
|
||
0401 Arabic ARA.MUI

|
||
|
||
Please note this list is just for reference purpose. It does not mean
|
||
all these languages will be supported in the XP MUI pack. Due to the
|
||
localization schedule differences among languages,
|
||
the XP MUI package will be released in two releases. The initial release
|
||
will include languages that are done soonest after the US English
|
||
release. The refresh release will include the other supported languages done
|
||
later. Please visit http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/FAQs/Multilang.asp
|
||
for more detail on the supported language list in XP MUI pack and their
|
||
release schedules.
|
||
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
3.0 SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
The Windows XP MUI pack only works with Windows XP Professional Edition.
|
||
The MUI files cannot be installed on Windows XP Home Edition.
|
||
|
||
A 32-bit MUI pack can only be installed on 32-bit Windows XP. You must use
|
||
a 64-bit MUI pack on 64-bit Windows XP. The number of supported MUI languages
|
||
on 64-bit will be different from 32-bit XP.
|
||
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
4.0 UPGRADING TO THE WINDOWS XP MUI PACK FROM WINDOWS 2000 MULTILANGUAGE VERSION
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
|
||
Setup will remove the old Windows 2000 MultiLanguage support files but will
|
||
not automatically add the Windows XP MUI support files during the upgrade
|
||
process. You must install the Windows XP MUI files from MUI CDs just as you
|
||
would on a clean installation of Windows XP. The same applies when upgrading
|
||
from early test versions of Windows XP MUI.
|
||
|
||
We recommend that you set the UI language to English before upgrading the
|
||
Windows 2000 MUI system to Windows XP.
|
||
|
||
|
||
You can use the following unattend mode process to add the new MUI files
|
||
automatically during the upgrade process.
|
||
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
5.0 INSTALLING MUI PACK IN UNATTEND MODE
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
|
||
The following steps explain how to install the Windows MUI Pack in unattend mode.
|
||
|
||
1. Copy all the MUI files from MUI CDs into a temporary directory on a
|
||
network share, such as $OEM$\MUIINST.
|
||
|
||
In this example, we use a server \\MUICORE. The directory for the MUI CD
|
||
contents will be \\MUICORE\UNATTEND\$OEM$\MUIINST.
|
||
|
||
2. Add a "Cmdlines.txt" file in \\muicore\UNATTEND\$OEM$ that includes
|
||
the following lines:
|
||
|
||
[Commands]
|
||
"muiinst\muisetup.exe [/i LangID1 LangID2 ...] [/d LangID] /r /s"
|
||
|
||
Note that you must specify " " in your cmdlines.txt file. Use the
|
||
appropriate Language ID (LANGID)s, and the muisetup command line
|
||
parameters to ensure a quiet installation. Please check muisetup.hlp
|
||
for a complete description of all the command line parameters for
|
||
muisetup.exe (the command line help content is under "related topics"
|
||
in the help.).
|
||
|
||
3. Create an answer file (mui.txt):
|
||
|
||
a. add the following entries in the "Unattended" section
|
||
|
||
[Unattended]
|
||
OemPreinstall=Yes
|
||
OemFilesPath=\\muicore\unattend
|
||
OemSkipEula=YES
|
||
|
||
"OemFilesPath" must point to a network share or drive containing the
|
||
MUI install source stored in the above directory structure.
|
||
|
||
The Windows install sources can be anywhere else (CD, network share, etc).
|
||
|
||
b. add a "RegionalSettings" section. Use this section to specify the Language
|
||
Groups and locales to install. Use the appropriate Language Group IDs and
|
||
Locale IDs (LCIDs). Ensure that the Language Groups you install are sufficient
|
||
to cover BOTH the locale settings and the User Interface languages you
|
||
are installing.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
[RegionalSettings]
|
||
LanguageGroup="5","8","13"
|
||
Language="0401"
|
||
|
||
Of course, the answer file may also include other OS unattended setup options.
|
||
|
||
4. Run winnt32.exe with the appropriate options to use the answer file. If you
|
||
require the installation of East Asian language and locale support, you must
|
||
specify /copysource:lang or /rx:lang to copy the necessary language files.
|
||
If you do not, and the [RegionalSettings] section of your answer file contains
|
||
East Asian values, Setup will ignore everything in the [RegionalSettings] section.
|
||
|
||
For Winnt32.exe, the appropriate syntax is:
|
||
winnt32.exe /unattend:"path to answer file" /copysource:lang /s:"path to install source"
|
||
|
||
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
6.0 DEPLOYING MUI BY USING REMOTE INSTALLATION SERVICE
|
||
=========================================================================
|
||
The following steps explain how to deploy MUI by using Windows Server<65><72>s Remote
|
||
Installation Service (RIS). ( RIS requirements: Domain Controller running Active
|
||
Directory, DHCP server, DNS server, NTFS partition to hold OS images. )
|
||
|
||
1. Install Remote Installation Services using the Windows Component Wizard.
|
||
2. Run Risetup.exe. RIS will create a flat image from the CD or network share as follows:
|
||
\Remote installation share\Admin
|
||
\OSChooser
|
||
\Setup
|
||
\tmp
|
||
|
||
The image is kept in the I386 directory under
|
||
\Setup (such as \Setup\<OS Locale>\Images\<Directory name>\I386 ).
|
||
|
||
3. Follow instructions on KB: Q241063 to install additional languages.
|
||
4. Follow instructions on KB: Q287545 or manually copy asms directory form CD
|
||
or network share into the I386 directory of the image.
|
||
|
||
5. Add the following section into the ristndrd.sif
|
||
(under \Setup\<OS Locale>\Images\<Directory Name>\I386\Templates) to enable
|
||
OEM installation
|
||
|
||
[Unattended]
|
||
OemPreinstall=Yes
|
||
|
||
[RegionalSettings]
|
||
LanguageGroup=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17
|
||
|
||
; Language support pack are needed depending on (Q241063 explains how to do this)
|
||
; UI language you will be install, please consult
|
||
; unattended document for more information.
|
||
|
||
6. Add $OEM$ directory at the same level as the \I386 image directory that contains
|
||
the following installation source
|
||
\Setup\<OS Locale>\Images\<Directory Name>
|
||
|-\I386
|
||
|-\$OEM$
|
||
|-\cmdlines.txt (OEM answer file)
|
||
|-\MUIINST
|
||
|
||
In <20><>cmdlines.txt<78><74>, you will need the following structure to start installation of
|
||
MUI. The MUIINST folder will include MUI files copied from MUI CD root folder.
|
||
|
||
[Commands]
|
||
"muiinst\muisetup.exe /i <LCID> <LCID> /d <LCID> /r /s"
|
||
|
||
Note that you will need to add <20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> in as indicate above.
