[2004, 20h1] Welsh interface

[Android2408]

Does anyone know of a way we can get hold of the Welsh APPX 32 & 64Bit? HWB are now paying for Microsoft Licences through Wales so as a school we no longer have access to VLSC to download language packs. We have been stuck on 1803 and unable to move forward, I'm now ready to create a new 2004 image but want it in Welsh and have to have the APPX.

 

TIA

Without the hassle of exporting it from an image etc, can't you just ask for a copy from them? How do you get your official ISOs/Licenses etc to deploy now?

I've managed to download the ISO's 32 and 64Bit with the update assistant, that wasn't a problem. But you can only get the APPX from the Multi language ISO's from the VLSC which we don't have access to. Been in touch with HWB and they don't supply them and don't have access to it. So don't think no one has thought about this till now. The licences are picked up with a KMS server that points to HWB.

 

Thanks

Ah, that's silly of them!

 

Well if you manually install it on one machine, using the normal CP/Settings method, you should be able to do an export of the appx, but it's not exactly a "neat" way of doing it

Thank you for your help and advise! Looks like I'll have to give that a go, after I figure out how

 

Thanks

That's hilarious [emoji1787]

What's so hilarious

On a side note, any luck with trying an export? If not I can boot a few VMs later and see if I can get something working

Not had a chance, will give it a go later. Thanks

Shwmae @Android2408 - we ask our LEA for software. Apparently they have access to the relevant ISOs.

Seriously? WG omitting the Welsh language version?

[Android2408]

Sud mai @garethedmondson - apparently not! Was hoping someone had the two multilaguage ISO's and would be able to extract the two APPX's. I've tried extracting from an installation but not sure it worked correctly, as I'm still getting Welcome and Preparing Windows when logging in even though it show's the Welsh is there.

 

Thanks

[Android2408]

Thanks everyone for your help! But it seems we are stuffed here at the moment. The ISO's I've downloaded with Update Assistant won't even activate with HWB's KMS server, so not only we can't get the APPX's but can't even get the latest Windows 10 version

sorry took that the wrong way! Been a tough few months getting nowhere

No problem. Sympathies. I'm just glad my school aren't fully Welsh language.

It's not only the welsh now! The Windows ISO's don't work with KMS, so have to get them from VLSC! No one has thought of this.

 

Take care

Are you sure? Will they not accept the public KMS keys on the client?

No it will not work, built an image here and tried it and get an error with wrong version, phoned HWB and they send that you're only suppose to use the VLSC discs as it's got something built in (no idea). So asked again about getting access to the software and again they said whoever supports the school! They only have access to the original Windows 10 not different versions??

This is exactly the kind of ill thought out issue you get when HWB do something. 🤷♂️
