How to install a MUI language CAB file in Windows 10

In the previous post I collected and posted here a bunch of direct links to MUI language packs for Windows 10. It is useful for users who need to install them on

multiple PCs. They will save their Internet bandwidth and time by not downloading them again on each PC. Instead, they can save the offline package and use it for
future installs. In this article, we shall see how to install these downloaded language packs.

First, make sure that you have the correct language pack matching your OS (32-bit or 64-bit). Installing the CAB MUI language packs requires few steps.
Follow these simple instructions to install the CAB files:
1. Press Win + R keys together on the keyboard to bring up the Run dialog.

Tip: see the ultimate list of all Windows keyboard shortcuts with Win keys.

2. Type the following in the Run box:

lpksetup.exe

Press Enter.
3. The "Install or Uninstall display languages" wizard will appear on the screen.

Click the Install display languages button.

4. In the next page of the wizard, click Browse and pick the *.cab file of the MUI language you downloaded.

5. Click the Next button:

Wait till it is installed. This can take a considerable amount of time and disk space.

A System Restore point will also be created first.

6. To switch to the installed language pack for your user account, you have to open the following Control panel applet:

Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\Language

7. Click here "Add a language and add the language you installed:

8. Click the Options link on the right side of the just installed language.

There, you will find the ability to activate it as the main display language.

Log out and log in again for the language to change.

That's it. Now you know how to deal with downloaded *.cab files for MUI language packages.

Hi!

I got bs:ed too with this. There is a huge licensing twist to this all language swap that makes it obligatory that first you have an English speaking version installed,
then you can swap to any language.

Otherwise you must pay some lisencing fees and other crap like that.

Microsoft should get some spine and stop bullssh1ting peeps with this kind of nasty surprises.

You know what would make this article even better? Updating it for 10240. I found the files somewhere else, but Id have preferred to support your article more since
it is what helped me find out how to do this!

I am having the yellow triangle error of death, much the same as other commentors! Surely there must be a way to force 10 to accept the files
