Comment:

I have installed vista ultimate on one of my pc's.
Problem is its a English installation.
Now since not everybody in my family is good with english i want to install a language pack.
Problem is auto update wont do it, it gives a error code 2 which does not seem to be fixable so far.
However a friend has Vista ultimate also and he managed to get the language pack.
Now i was wondering can i just copy the system32/nl and system32/nl-NL files and move them to my pc.
Or is there something else needed to get a full language switch.
