I'm trying to install East Asian Language Pack and when it asks me to put in
my XP CD, the files cannot be found. What can I do. Thank you.

Hi,

Is this a regular CD or a System Restore disk? If the latter, you may need
to repoint the system to the I386 folder on the hard drive.

I'm having the same problem. How do you "repoint the system"? I have the
blue "Operating System Windows XP Home Edition" from Gateway. When I try to
load this, it says "cannot copy files"

Hi,

Click "cancel" when prompted to the insert the CD, then redirect to the I386
folder on the system. You may need to change the sourcepath string in the
system registry.

Ok, just a parent here. Can you put that in non technical language? The
computer crashed on Saturday and we are trying to reload everything. My
Korean exchange student is anxious to get back online.

Hi,

Ok, sorry for the abrupt response, it's hard to assess a readers level of
knowledge from only a few sentences, and I hate to type out long
instructions when they are not needed (yes, I'm lazy sometimes). First, set
folder options to see hidden and system folders. Go to the Control
Panel/Folder Options, and on the View tab, set the advanced options so you
can see hidden and system files. Specifically:

Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"

I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types". Then open Windows Explorer to C:\Windows and see if there is an I386
folder here. You should also see on that is called ServicePackFiles if you
have installed either SP1 or SP2. If they are in these locations, continue
on. If not, you need to determine where they are before proceeding.

Now, click start/run and type regedit, click ok. Expand the plus (+) signs
to reach this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup

Click on the setup folder so you can see the associated strings in the right
pane. Double-click on the one called sourcepath, you should see "C:\Windows"
(without the quotes) in the valuedata line, but you probably just see your
CD drive letter. Change it and click ok. Now check the
ServicePackSourcePath, it should read "c:\windows\ServicePackFiles" (again
without the quotes). It probably does, but if not you need to change this
one as well. Click ok, then close the registry editor.

Now retry adding the East Asian languages. What we've done here is to
redirect the system to look at the hard drive store of the system files
rather than prompting to insert the CD. Manufacturers like Gateway commonly
place the system files on the hard drive, the recovery CD is provided only
as a backup to reinstall the operating system and cannot be used like a
retail CD to add system components.

Default Can't install East Asian Language

I have a laptop with XP professional + SP2.
When i go to the "regional and language settings"-"Advacnced" Tab, both the
pull-down list and "code page conversion table" are empty.
I tried to go to "Language" tab, and tick "install files for east asian
lanuage", then "Apply" or "OK", but it does not prompt me to insert CD.
What's wrong with it? Any possible solutions?

Thanks!

I tried yesterday, but it does not help: the same symptom after applying the
SFC.
During the SFC, it does not prompt me to insert the installation CD.
I am wondering that all the system files are intact, but some registry entry
has been changed.
Another symptom of the PC: one of the user account, which is apparently
"administrator" privilege, can't issue command "regedit". But other
"administrator" accounts can do.

Thanks again.

It does not help, and the same symptom remains after applying SFC.
While doing the SFC, it does not prompt me to insert the installation CD.
I am wondering that the system files are intact, but some registry entry has
been changed by some "application program".
Any further insight?

Thanks anyway.

Some Policy seems to be in force. I would go to start/run, and type GPEDIT.MSC

I looked into it, and found one worth looking at:

Local policy/user config/admin templates/Control panel/regional ...."restrict selection of..."

I have checked this as well, but it seems ok, still in "Not Configured".
Any other possibilities?

Is there a standaline installation pack for the East Asian Language? e.g.,
wrapped in some exe files, not with the standard XP disk.

Thanks!
