Hello,

When i install a language pack, after the download and at the end of the installation progress bar, it says:

The following updates were not installed:

French Language Pack - Windows 8 for x64-based Systems - (KB2607607) [fr-FR_LP]

And there is no information about the error(s).

What can i do ? Is there somewhere i could see a detailed log with possibly more information about errors that occured ?

Windows for home | Previous Windows versions | Email and communications

    Most definitely, Linux supports many language and I've never seen anything like this. It has very good support for Microsoft Office documents in several different packages, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Kingsoft Office... 

    I've always been a strong supporter for Linux on the work floor because most companies can benefit from it in more ways than this. It's more secure, it's completely free of charge (for the OS, some software packages still require payment but usually a lot less than the MS equivalent) and lets face it, Linux has really matured and does most of the things that Windows does.

    Gaming is a little more complicated, but even in that area, developers are catching up... not that you need that for a company :)

    This crappy support from Microsoft will only push people towards alternatives, and there are some pretty good ones out there. If MS Office was open source, there would've been a solution LONG TIME AGO!!!!

    Amazing, problem exists so long time, many people complaing about and nothing.

    Windows crue does nothing to repair it.

    I try do install Polish and nothing. Should I really change the OS to Linux?

    This is to be my next step.

    And I believe it will work!

    Try this:

    In Run dialog box(win+r) type 'msconfig'.

    In System Configuration in General tab select Diagnostic startup and click OK

    Restart your PC

    Install language pack

    Restart your PC

    Run msconfig

    Select Normal startup in General tab

    Restart your PC

    When I run Diagnostic startup the PC is offline.

    lpksetup and config setup don't work offline.

    Any other way to install the LP?

    It's in my Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder allready

    In the log file are 3 unable to find fails:

    peprovider

    wow64provider

    embeddedprovider

    It seems the only solution that really helps... It's no guarantee that it works first time, but eventually it should. Thank GOD we have such good support from Microsoft, we're really getting what we're paying for :)

    I suppose they're still too busy supporting an OS (XP) that should've been decommissioned a decade ago instead of supporting people who actually invest in new MS products!!!!!!!
