What is the Internal installation mode
* It's an experimental feature, successful installation is not guaranteed when installing MUI languages, LIP languages are installed without problems
* Installation procedure used in pre-2 version of Vistalizator is now called Express mode
* Internal installation uses internal Vista language installer (after some hacking to force that for MUIs, LIP languages are supported on every edition of Vista by default)
* These languages are fully recognized by Vista, don't suffer issues with Windows Update and are updated by the system itself or by Service Pack installer
* Internal installation can be performed only once for MUI languages (the hack simply doesn't work anymore): this limitation doesn't apply to LIP languages
* To install multiple MUI languages, load all of them and change their mode to Internal
* To install a dependent LIP language in internal mode, its parent MUI language must also be installed in internal mode and has to be the current display language
* Internal installation takes longer than in Express mode (20 min for a MUI, 10 min for a LIP)
* This mode is default for LIP languages when their parent MUI language is internal and is the current display language
* LIP languages installed in internal mode can also be uninstalled
What is the Express installation mode
* Uses a "quick and dirty" approach to install new languages and is not able to update all the Windows system catalogs
* That's why the new language is not recognized by Vista, a trick is applied to make the system use the new language
* Some features may not work (like Windows Update) and some Windows updates can break the new language(s)
* Compared to internal installation it takes about ten times less time to install a new language
* This mode is default for MUI languages and also for LIP languages when their parent MUI language is not internal and/or is not the current display language
* Safe use - no file is overwritten/changed during language installation
* (except for language upgrade after installing Vista SP1)
Command line parameters:
* / or /h - display info about using parameters
* /c - save registry backup at software startup and on exit
* (this was done automatically before, now it's optional)
* /p - show internal installation progress
* (to be able to cancel the internal installation or to see errors in case of a failure) The license of this windows utility software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this Windows Utility software.
