How to install language support without XP CD?

[oceanhai]

I would like to install East Asian language support on my XP Pro sp
machine but I no longer have the original CD that I used to install th
OS. I tried borrowing a friend's CD for XP Pro sp1 and the files seeme
to install properly from the i386\lang directory on the CD but th
language functionality still does not work.

Does anyone know if you can download the language pack from MS (I can'
find it on their site)? Otherwise, it seems that I need the contents o
the i386\lang directory from an XP Pro sp2 CD, which I don't have
Thanks for any advice you can offer

You'll have to have your Windows XP CD.
