I am trying to create a deployment of Office 2013 with a variety of language packs. This is the process I am following:
1. Create a deployment share folder (will be eventually be done using Config Manager but doing this locally for now). This includes the Office install files as well as a folder named x86languagepacks with the ~8GB of language pack files.
2. Edited the config.xml in proplus.ww folder to specify which languages we want installed:
<Configuration Product="ProPlus"><!-- <Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="no" /> --><!-- <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Professional Plus Setup(*).txt" /> --><!-- <USERNAME Value="Customer" /> --><!-- <COMPANYNAME Value="MyCompany" /> --><!-- <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> --><!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> --><!-- <LIS SOURCELIST="\\server1\share\Office;\\server2\share\Office" /> --><!-- <DistributionPoint Location="\\server\share\Office" /> --><!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> --><!-- <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="IfNeeded" /> --><!-- <Command Path="%windir%\system32\msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> --><AddLanguage Id="match" ShellTransform="yes"/> <AddLanguage Id="ar-sa" /><AddLanguage Id="de-de" /><AddLanguage Id="es-es" /><AddLanguage Id="en-us" /><AddLanguage Id="fr-fr" /><AddLanguage Id="hi-in" /><AddLanguage Id="he-il" /><AddLanguage Id="it-it" /><AddLanguage Id="ja-jp" /><AddLanguage Id="ko-kr" /><AddLanguage Id="pt-br" /><AddLanguage Id="pt-pt" /><AddLanguage Id="ru-ru" /><AddLanguage Id="zh-cn" /><AddLanguage Id="zh-tw" /></Configuration>
3. Use the command line setup.exe /adminfile "adminfile.msp" /config proplus.ww\config.xml.
I also tried placing the admin file in the Updates folder and the command line setup.exe /config proplus.ww\config.xml but that failed too. It works for a standard (no language packs) install when using the built in config.xml in the proplus.ww folder so the problem must be with what I posted above. Are there any obvious errors in it?
The logs show these 2 errors:
- Cannot find exact locale ID for culture match type.
- Failed to convert CultureTag [match] to HCULTURE. Error Code 0x8ff00001.
I verified all of the languages I am specifying in the config.xml exist in my x86languagepacks folder. And, as afar as I can see the error log seems to be parsing the config.xml OK.
Any ideas?
