With language files, you can change the language used for text on wizards, dialog boxes, menus, Help topics, and other items in Windows. Here are solutions to some common problems with installing or removing language files.
There is not enough space on your hard disk to install the language file. A language file typically requires 200 megabytes (MB) of disk space. Free some space on your hard disk by deleting some files or programs, and then try the installation again.
•
You do not have the proper license to install the language file. You must be running a genuine copy of Windows Vista to install and use language files. Multilingual User Interface Packs can only be used on computers running Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows Vista Enterprise.
•
Your computer is missing one or more files that are required to install the language file. For example, if you are trying to install a Language Interface Pack (LIP), you must also install the parent language pack for that LIP. For more information, see How do I get additional language files?
•
The language file is not compatible with your computer configuration. When choosing files to install, make sure they are supported on your edition of Windows Vista, and are designed for your computer's type of architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

•
The language file is already installed on your computer. Make sure that the language file has not already been installed by following these steps:
1.
Open Regional and Language Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Regional and Language Options.
2.
Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
3.
Under Display language, look at the languages in the list.
If the language you are trying to install is in the list, it is already on your computer.
The language you are trying to remove is the system language. The system language is the default language of the user interface. The system language cannot be removed.
•
To work properly, other languages on your computer require the language you are trying to remove. This is the case with Language Pack Interface (LIP) languages and their parent languages. You must remove a LIP before or at the same time that you remove its parent languages.
User Account Control (UAC) is turned off and you are trying to run the wizard without administrative rights. You must be logged on to an administrator account on your computer to install language files. If UAC is turned on, Windows
will ask you for permission to run the wizard. If UAC is turned off, you can't give your permission so you can't run the wizard. You need to log on to the computer as administrator or turn on UAC. For more information, see What is User Account Control?
•
The wizard is already running. Wait for the wizard to finish what it is doing, and then try running the wizard again.
