    Hi Mr.Barre,

    ·          What is the version of service pack installed on the computer?

    When you install language packs on the computer it would usually prompt for the Windows XP installation CD.

    Since you do not have the Windows XP CD I would suggest that you provide the below location when it prompts for the CD and check if it helps.

    C:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    To install complex script and right-to-left language files

    In my case, I do not have the Windows XP Pro installation CD and I am being asked for the Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 CD to be inserted.

    Even though I have downloaded the.iso file for SP 3 and burned it to a CD, the file being looked for can't be located.

    And, alas, using the directory suggested here doesn't work because there is no such directory in my c:\windows folder.

    My situation is maybe slightly different; I'm looking to install support for complex scripts in order to work with Khmer, but I was cheered to see a practical suggestion like this (even though it didn't work for me).

    Rgr
