install language pack on windows 7 Home premium
hello,
i want to install a dutch languagepack on my English laptop - running W7 home premium
i use this method:
http://www.wincert.net/tips/microsoft-windows/windows-7/2086-how-to-use-another-language-pack-on-windows-7-home-premium-and-professional
i downloaded the pack, and ran the exe - and got the lp.cab file
i fear i got the path wrong when i first used the command, and received an error.
my problem is now that i cannot rerun the command, because everytime i run the exe fileof the pack, the lp.cab file is made - but disappears after 5 seconds.
anybody can help me with this ??
how can i make this work? (i suppose i have to run the dism command with other options; but i'm not sure which ones

how are you trying to extract that particular file..?
I know this isn't in the best English but step 1 says
"Download a Language Pack for Non-SP1 (Build 7600) or SP1 (Build 7601). You can extract the language pack exe. file for lp.cab to avoid disappearing it by copying it or dragging it. "
which to me suggests this is a known and possibly planned thing by MS.
Did you try copying or dragging it..?
