- 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
- 0402 Bulgarian BG.MUI
- 041a Croatian HR.MUI

- 0404 Traditional Chinese CHH.MUI
- 041f Turkish TR.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��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 ��cmdlines.txt��, 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 ���� in as indicate above.
