Install a MUI Language CAB File in Windows 10, 8, and 7

We recently collected and published an article with direct links to various MUI language packs for Windows 8.1, Window 8 and Window 7 (Windows 10 from here). It is a useful collection for them that need to be installed on multiple computers.

They can thus download the language file they are interested in only once and install it on as many computers as they want instead of downloading it for each one individually, gaining time, movement and KB. But let's go a step further and see with this article, how to install the language packs you just downloaded.

First of all, make sure you have the right one language that matches your operating system.
There are two forms of MUI language packs: EXE (* .exe), the format that refers to an executable file, and the CAB (* .cab) file format.

While for *.exe files a double click on them is enough to install the appropriate MUI files, the corresponding of CAB files is not so obvious and requires a few more steps.

Follow these simple instructions to install the CAB files. The process is similar for Windows 8 and Windows 7:

  1. Press the keys Win + R together on the keyboard to display the Run [Run] dialog box.
  2. Type the following in the Run box that will appear:
    lpksetup.exe


    Press the OK button.

  3. It will appear in a new window on the screen “Install or uninstall display languages”. Click the “Install display languages”[Install display languages].
  4. On the next page of the wizard, click the [Browse] button and select the * .cab file of the downloaded MUI language. Wait until it is installed. This process can take a little longer but also a significant amount of disk space. A system restore point will be created automatically before the language is installed.
  5. To access the installed language pack for your user account, you need to open the following application in the control panel:
    Control Panel \ Language

  6. Click the link Options [Options] on the right side of the new installed language. There, you'll be able to enable it as your primary display language.

    After pressing the "Save" button, disconnect from the user and then reconnect to see the new language you selected enabled
  7. Note : In Window 7, open the “Control Panel /  Area and language ”. Click the Keyboard and Languages ​​tab. Show language, select a language from the list and click OK.

Well done. Now you know how to install the files *. Cab of MUI Language Packs.
