Guest JF Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I am trying to install the chinese (simplified) language MUI and continue to get error code 2. I have tried rebooting sveral times. I make sure no other programs are running. My Windows Vista is activated. I am running the 32 bit version of Vista ultimate. After the install is complete the message says install complete then it tells me some items were not installed successfully and I get the error code 2. The only MUI I have installed successfully is the Japanese one. I am using the Windows Update to install the MUIs. I cannot find them anywhere else. It almost appears that microsoft is trying to dodge this one as I see no support anywhere for this problem but I see a lot of people with this problem. Does anyone have a solution for this? A real solution not some microsoft security phone number. This is not a security problem that I'm aware of. Thanks...

(It took me 5 hours of phone time with Microsoft and a week and a half to get it fixed, so I don't want people trying a billion things when most likely the hotfix will cure them). The hotfix is KB942903. Google it, maybe someone has it downloadable. If you have the MGA stuff installed, you should be able to find it on microsoft's site. Best of luck!
