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

    Here is the deal.

    If a package, for any reason, is downloaded corrupted, as soon as the instalation fails, ALL files installed should be deleted from the system. This also should happen when the user deletes a language that the instalation failed or uninstalling one.

    Right now, this doesn't happen.

    So, when trying to download and install it again, the installation is seeing the previous corrupted file and not replacing it, so it makes impossible to install that given package.

    Now MS, get your stuff together and do it right,

    Same problem here!

    I just wasted 2 days trying to install the English language pack -.-

    I tried to install Russian LP, and it worked fine -.-

    The problem appeared after I refreshed my system. Before I had installed English language pack... I think it's the one of Windows updates which cause the problem.

    Try restarting your computer and try the installation again. If that doesn't work, try clearing your cache from IE or even reset IE. Run the System File Checker sfc/scannow command in cmd as an administrator. If the problem continues because of a corrupted Microsoft profile, you might want to restore your profile and settings to the original factory condition (it's best not to unlink your Microsoft account at this moment yet) using the Factory Restore method (all desktop apps will have to be reinstalled after Factory Restore):

    1. Go to the Charms bar and tap settings > more PC settings.
    2. Tap on the general tab and scroll down.
    3. Under the Refresh your PC without affecting your files section, tap get started.
    4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process.

    Here's what will happen:

    • Your files and personalization settings won't change.
    • Your PC settings will be changed back to their defaults.
    • Apps from Windows Store will be kept. However, the apps will be restored to their original factory condition as well.
    • Apps you installed from discs or websites will be removed.
    • A list of removed apps will be saved to your desktop. Try to find the app that is causing the problem you're facing.

    This will take a few minutes, and your PC will restart. Plug in your PC before you start.
