Deploy a Language pack lp.cab for windows 7 ent with SCCM 2007 sp2

languagesccmwindows 7

Where and how am I able to add the lp.cab file within SCCM so that I can have the language pack install when Windows 7 and the apps are installed.
I want to add it to my task sequence but where is this option available.

Thanks

This is possible from within a SCCM 2007 Task Sequence, using the extra Task Sequence steps provided when you integrate MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit) into SCCM 2007 (this is a free download from Microsoft). Once you've integrated MDT you get a set of new MDT "Solution Accelerator" steps that you can add into your Task Sequence, as below.

MDT Task Sequence - Install Language Packs

While your machine is still in the PE phase of the build (ie before the "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr" step) you need to add a "Use Toolkit Package" and "Gather" step and then add a "Install Language Packs Offline" step

In the Install Language Pack Offline step, point the step to a Package that contains the 'lp.cab' file for your language inside a folder named with the language's code, and it will add the language into your OS before the OS first boots.
