Adress specific language during W2K inst

Okay, I don't know if there's a limit to answering these. This is what I found.

Microsoft recommends this installation order for Windows 2000 products with Multilingual Service Packs.

1) Install Windows 2K Pro US/UK Version Operating System. (You were on the right track, you just needed to take a couple of more steps.)

2) Run Muisetup.exe User program on the CD to install the Multilingual User Interface Pack and choose the language you wish to install. (This program is also CD 1 from Windows 2000 MultiLanguage Version Kit.)

Important: Muisetup.exe must be done before installation of fixes or Multilingual Menus and Dialogs for Internet Explorer.

3) Next install the most recent Windows 2000 Service Pack. (This updates both the Windows 2000 files and the Multilingual User Interface Pack files.)

4) Then install any Hotfixes for Windows 2000 you may have. (The Hotfixes contain the most recent post-service pack updates.)

5) Then install Internet Explorer. (You must install Internet Explorer after all operating system components have been updated.)

6) Then install Multilingual Menus and Dialogs for Internet Explorer.

7) Finally, install any Hotfixes for Internet Explorer you may have. (These hotfixes updatethe files for Internet Explorer and for Multilingual Menus and Dialogs.)

Hope this helps. It's Article# Q323282 if you need any further help.
