Cannot install Vista SP1 - Romanian language pack won't uninstall

T

TimAlsop

When I double click on the .exe to install SP1 I immediately get:

"Windows Vista Service Pack 1 cannot be installed on your computer because
the language of Windows Vista you have installed is not supported or you have
installed a language pack that is not supported. Windows Vista Service Pack 1
can only be installed on computers running the English, French, German,
Japanese and Spanish versions of Windows Vista or computers running these
language packs."

Maybe SP1 now supports more languages (once it is installed), but the
installer does not work correctly when Romanian lang pack is installed, so I
need to find a way to remove it.

If I try to remove the language pack using the normal "Install or Uninstall
Display Languages" dialog, it looks like it is being uninstalled, as the
green bar moves from 0 to 100% to show progress, and then I get:

"All selected language files failed to be removed"
"Failed removals"

I have rebooted many times and also tried uninstalling in safe mode. I have
also tried uninstalling using the “hidden administrator†account and still
get same problem.

Can you help ?

Hi,

I prefer if I can install SP1 before April, since I have an urgent need to
test a fix which is included only in SP1.

Surely there must be a way to uninstall a language pack that is not
required, e.g. removing entries from registry, deleting files etc. ?

Thanks,
Tim

Hello,
You may want to try this:
To uninstall the all language packs, try doing this via Control Panel,
Regional and Language Options "install or uninstall display languages"
Choose the uninstall button and check the boxes of the language packs you
wish to remove.
English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese should not need to be removed
for the Service Pack to be installed.

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Darrell,

That is exactly what I have been doing when I try to uninstall the lang
pack, but it does not work. I have rebooted before doing this, tried using
the hidden administrator, and so I am stuck, and this is why I opened this
thread.

I have seen a few hot fixes mentioned, e.g.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=947506 that may be related to my problem,
but the fixes only seem to be available for x86 version of Vista, and I am
using x64 version :-(

Thanks,
Tim

Some more info - As a test I installed French and German language packs, and
I was able to uninstall them, but for some reason the Romanian lang pack will
not install. It looks like there is something wrong with the romanian lang
pack on my system and the uninstaller fails when it finds something strange,
so I am left with a system that I cannot upgrade to SP1.

In my previous post I mentioned hotfix 947506, which does relate to corrupt
lang packs that won't uninstall, but the fix seems to be available as x86
only - can you help me get an x64 fix for this issue ?

Thanks again,
Tim

Any update on this? V

TimAlsop

no update - I am still not able to uninstall the romanian language pack. I
think it is somehow corrupt and the uninstall procedure is failing, so until
I can uninstall this lang pack I cannot apply sp1 :-(

Darrell,

I have sent you an email as requested.

Thanks,
Tim

What about an update from Darrell? Is this merely corruption? I'm
experiencing the exact same issue - same language pack. I originally
had the problem with another language pack as well - but i skipped it
- uninstalled some others - came back to it and then it uninstalled.
NO such luck with the Romanian language pack. I'm pretty close to just
reinstalling fresh, but would really prefer not to.

Hi,

It is good to know that I am not alone with this. Your description sounds
like you are getting same problem. I have run out of ideas, and since I am
using x64 any hotfix which I find which looks as though it might be useful is
not available, unless I am using x86 version of Vista.

I tried to email Darrell, but he hasn't responded. I hope Darrell or
somebody else can help soon.

Thanks,
Tim

I'm also using x64. A few months ago when trying to install rc
versions of the sp I couldn't uninstall any of the language packs at
all. So I assume that something got pushed patch-wise to resolve part
of this issue for x64, they just didn't quite finish the job.

Maybe. However, the issue is still there and needs to be fixed.

If I get any news I will let you know, if you do likewise.

Thanks,

Any update on this? V- Hide quoted text -

What about an update from Darrell? Is this merely corruption? I'm
experiencing the exact same issue - same language pack. I originally
had the problem with another language pack as well - but i skipped it
- uninstalled some others - came back to it and then it uninstalled.
NO such luck with the Romanian language pack. I'm pretty close to just
reinstalling fresh, but would really prefer not to.- Hide quoted text -

I'm also using x64. A few months ago when trying to install rc
versions of the sp I couldn't uninstall any of the language packs at
all. So I assume that something got pushed patch-wise to resolve part
of this issue for x64, they just didn't quite finish the job.

There is a workaround but it requires dealing with the registery so backup registery first.

1. press Windows Logo Key + R to open Run Dialog
2. Type regedit
3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHEINE\SYSTEM\CONTROSET001\MUI

there will be an entry for romanian language DELETE it. [for english the key is "en-US" in the navigation tree].

Repeat step three for

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHEINE\SYSTEM\CONTROSET003\MUI

this will make SP1 installer to see only English Language there.

hence it will continue installation.

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHEINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROSET\MUI

Thankyou.

I think you made a mistake with the registry key names. I found romainian
key at HKLM\SYSTEM\CONTROLSET001\Control\MUI\UILanguages. I deleted the keys
related to romanian and so now I only have en-US key in the 3 locations
mentioned.

I then try installing SP1 and got same error as before, so I assume this is
due to reboot being required. I will reboot and then report back here with
the outcome...

Regards,
Tim

Hi,

After my last post, I noticed I had not actually removed all three entries.
I removed the last entry from registry and then the SP1 install started to
work !

Thankyou very much for your help. I am now a happy SP1er :)

Regards,Tim
