Russification of Windows 7 Professional

Finally, they got around to deliver and watch Windows 7. Since the university is connected to the MSDN Academic Alliance program, I decided not to piracy, but to honestly deliver the Windows 7 Professional program provided. With Russian localization, it is not available, because I put English. In addition, I downloaded the Language Pack with all the available languages.

It’s more familiar to see the native Russian interface, so I’ve already begun to rub my hands and look for how to install the downloaded Language Pack. But then there was a problem ... you can put it only on Ultimate or on Enterprise.


For Ultimate and Enterprise this is done in a few clicks: Start Menu -> Control Panel , select Clock, Language and Region .
')
Contol Panel options

Click Change display language , and go to the Keyboards and Languages tab.

Install / Uninstall

And on this tab there should be an Install / Uninstall Languages button. But it is not. Climbing on help found that this option is available only for Ultimate and Enterprise.

There was no desire to download another assembly, besides, I already had a completely legal Windows (albeit with limited capabilities). Soon the way out was found. For Russification, you need a Language Pack for Windows 7.

Run cmd with admin rights and execute

DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:<path_to_lp_dir>
bcdedit /set {current} locale ru-RU
bcdboot %WinDir% /l ru-RU


< path_to_lp_dir > - path to the directory where the language files are located. For example, D: \ languagepack \ ru-RU. Inside this directory should be lp.cab.

Next, run regedit and open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Control / MUI / UILanguages . Delete en-US and restart the system.

Voila! Now Windows will greet us in our native language)

I can advise you to read about DISM , BCDEdit and BCDBoot

PS I apologize to those who saw 4 doubles of the post. Apparently after the nigtly build of FF, something broke and ajax requests were incorrectly executed, which led to a float from drafts to new ones.
