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

    I found a solution here, posted by SoftDeveloper on 08 March 2016:

    https://superuser.com/questions/1003359/unable-download-speech-language-in-windows-10

    The ideea is to rename Windows Update in registry, stop Windows Update service, try download, and rename it back, start the Windows Update service.

    Hi,

    If anybody still keeps struggling with the installation here's the thing.

    First method (not tested but should work):  --->METHOD WITH LANGUAGE PACK

    1. Download the language pack.
    2. Put the install exe. directly to the folder where you have office.
    3. Try to install it.

    Congrats if it will work!

    Second method (works - tested): ----> METHOD WITH SYSTEM LANGUAGE

    1. Change the language of your system to language that you want to have in Office.
    2. Download the office install.exe directly to the folder where you have Office installed.
    3. Turn the instalator and crash it (only way to crash it is to shut it down with Task Manager).
    4. Turn  the Office on (whatever it is can be Word). And close it.
    5. Turn the instalator on again (it will check for errors and change language to the system language).
