EveningAfter the partial install of the langaige packs, I discivered that the language packs were not listee in te add/remove windows installed updates. Subsequently i visualeized that the uninstall process woudl be via the language functions.I think that they should be in the add/remove functions capabilities. That is where most peoiple would think that thew uninstall capablity would exiist. The thought process is from the current expectations for the standard update process.

torbar, The option to remove installed language packs has been located in the Region and Language Options menu since Windows XP. To uninstall a language pack, navigate to the Keyboards and Languages tab and click on "Install/Uninstall languages..."-Alex

I did not know that as I never bothered with the language packs in XP or Vista. I wonder how many users would think to look there if they installed them accidently and then wanted to uninstall them. I just think that add/remove programs should be located in a single central control point.Thanks for the response.

Yesterday I decided to reinstall the RC code. I performed all the updates except the language packs. I followed this sequence:1. select, download, install the first language pack in the list - successful2. select, download, install the second language pack in the list (first one on top of list)- successful3.select the next 4 languages packs,download/install those packs (first 4 on top of list)- all 4 failed4.did not pay attention towhich langaugepack that was to be installed5. select, download, install first language pack in list - successful6. select, download, install first 3 langauge packs in list - successful7. repeat in groups of 3 until 11 language packs left - each repeat was successful8. select, download, install the last 11 language packs - successfulDid not verify the status of the 4 that failed. After the last 11 installed, no langauge packs were identified as optional by Update.I choice the incorrect version of Office 2007 to install and messed up the install process. I reinstalled the RC code and performed all the updates ecept the language packs. I decided to select all the language packs, download and install them. The install was successful for all language packs.I think that the first attempt took between 6-8 hours to install all the langauge packs but I am not sure. It was definetly very long.I did not research the second reinstall for the length of time. I had gegun the install and then wednt to bed. The install was successful when I checked it in the morning. I rebooted to Vista since I was leaving and my wife wanted to use the PC.The installation of the language packs has been very inconsistent.

Hi Torbor It's best to not download/install all of the language packs.Only download/install the language packs that youintend to use. The rest you can simply hide in Windows Update and you won't see them again, unless you need them.Most people only download andinstall one, or maybetwo, at the most. These MUIlanguage packs are very large and can add a couple of Gigabytes to the size of the OS if they are all installed.Hope this helps.Thank You for testing Windows 7 Ronnie Vernon MVP

Morning Ronnie I am usually in the mode that I automatically install all the software that displays in the update site regardless if I use it frequently. I had never installed the language packs previously (unless system did it automatically). I just encountered the odd install patterns (failures, time lengths, etc) and as a result I wanted to do an install just to see if they would install with no problems and have some feel for the length of time. Thanks for the response Bob
