RE: Vista Ulitmate - MUI Language Packs not appearing in Windows/M

Excellent - I'll echo Trevor and say many thanks for the information
TaurArian. That explains exactly what I needed to know.

Now I just have to sort out and refine my KB searching skills ;o) I did
search for this before posting here but used MUI...

Thanks again, I'll rest easy and wait for the 2nd wave!

Regards,
Sean

We have some information we'd like to share in regards to Windows Vista SP1
and folks running Language Packs. Some of you may have noticed that after
installing Windows Vista SP1 on Windows Vista Ultimate - the Language Packs
fail to appear on Windows Update (KB947875).

We will be releasing Windows Vista SP1 in two "waves". The first wave will
only provide Windows Vista SP1 to Windows Vista Ultimate PCs running the
following 5 Languages: English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish. The
second wave will follow shortly after - supporting all 36 languages.

I installed Vista Ultimate this weekend. Having been into Windows Update
immediately after starting up for the first time, I saw a long list of
Languages available to download.

Instead of installing all of these updates, I downloaded and installed the
Vista Service Pack 1 update from the download site instead.

Once I restarted the PC I went back to Windows Update and the language packs
had all gone and I cannot find them anywhere online. Apparently you can only
get them via Windows Ultimate (which obviously I can't as they're not
listed).

I thought that this may be due to the fact that they were installed by SP1,
but I cannot find them using the Display Language Switcher utility so I
assume they're not on my PC.

Can anyone offer any solutions as to why I can no longer see the Language
Packs on Windows Update, or how I can get them back? I want to install the
Swedish language files.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Many thanks,
Sean
