Vista Ultimate MUI install error code 2


Recommended Posts

Posted

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...

Only info I have - no solution. You want a solution then you have to contact MS.

Error 1 and Error 2

(Note - installing language packs can take up to several hours, depending on how many you

have selected)

 

Windows Vista Ultimate language pack release information

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925471

 

To install language files

 

1. Restart the computer, Open Windows Update and in the left pane, click Check for

updates

2. Select the language pack/s that you want to install, and then click Install.

 

(Provide the Administrator password or confirmation if prompted to do so.)

Good News Everyone!!!!

There is now a hotfix for this problem. (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!
