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.
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.
