I have Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bits version) in English and I want to change the language to Spanish by default. I tried downloading the language pack through Windows Update some time ago but got an error and I don't know how to manually download and install it. I have been trying to install a LIP for Spanish on top of my English default language but i think there isn't one available or at least couldn't find it. I need some instructions to manually download and install the Spanish language pack or a link for a LIP of the Spanish language. Thanks

Hi Ronnie,

there is no "direct download link" on your suggested site, only a "Learn how" link which repeats that MUI language packs (opposed to LIPs) are only available by Windows Update. Direct download links exist (on other locations) but I would not recommend to use them, the better way is retrying the WU download; if there are errors, please - alexjb88 - tell us what error messages you got. A "LIP of the Spanish language" doesn't exist because Spanish is not a "regional culture" extension of English (like Basque or Catalan for Spanish).

    I had the same problem when I tried downloading the Spanish language pack on my windows 7 ultimate (32-bit). I use to get error code 80200010. I was confused then I decided to see if the antivirus was interfering with the download and installation.  I temporarily disabled my antivirus system and it worked. Now I can switch from English to Spanish when I want
