Hi,
My laptop has XP with service pack 2 but the Indic language support
(Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages) is not
enabled. If I check the box, the XP disk is required but I don't have
a functional disk drive in my laptop. Is there a way to copy the files
from the service pack two? I downloaded the service pack 2 from
Microsoft website but it seems it can't be extracted. I searched fro a
source that allows download of this particular set of files but don't
find any. What I need is support for Indian languages. Can somebody
help?
Thanks in advance,
Cheng.

Click to expand...

If you have the service pack downloaded to your hard drive, you can expand
it by adding a /x. For example, say the file is named SP2.exe. Open a
command prompt in the folder you have SP2.exe downloaded and type in:

sp2.exe /x c:\SP2

This will expand the service pack to the SP2 folder on your C: drive. If the
folder doesn't exist, it will be created for you. You may get a prompt to do
so; I don't remember for sure if it just creates it or asks you if you want
to create the folder.

A lot of the files in the SP2 folder will be compressed with an extension
such as ccd.dl_. These can be expanded using the expand command. From a
command prompt, type expand /? and press enter for all the switches to use.
