Japanese Language Support in Windows XP

Name: Anonymous 2005-11-19 15:35

So I've finally come to make the move from JWin98SE to WinXPPSP2 (Corporate), but I can't seem to get East Asian Languages to install.

I read in various places (http://greggman.com/japan/xp-ime/xp-ime.htm) the procedure: Control Panel > Regional and Language Settings > Languages > Install files for East Asian Languages. When I do this, a dialog pops up that says there's ~230MB of files to be copied from the "Windows XP Service Pack 2 CD," which I "OK," but, with the XPPSP2 install disc in the drive, another dialog pops up saying that it can't find "X:\i386\lang\imlang.dll;imlang.dl_".

I've tried a number of different install discs, all labeled "SP2," but none of them seem to have this file anywhere on them.

The only thing I can think of would be that this imlang.dll is in not part of the ["slipstreamed SP2"] install, but the SP2 package, and that the disc the dialog refers to is the SP2 disc available from Microsoft (http//www.mic/... from which one can then in turn figure that this imlang.dll suite is available for download from 'Microsoft Update'..?

The whole thing has me wholly confused. My goal is to compile a stripped-down XP install disc (without IE, Outlook, WMP, etc.) with Japanese language support, which I didn't expect to be so time consuming!

Any help is much, MUCH appreciated!

No, it's part of the regular installation CD, not part of MS's service pack disc (I just checked on my copy, a duplicate made directly from an official XP volume license CD, and the file's right there). You obviously missed a file out in creating your slipstreamed CD (a bug in the slipstreaming software, perhaps, or a setting you missed).
