As far as I know, x64 versions of Windows Server are not localised into any
language but english. We need to install the english version and then install
the right Multilingual User Interface Pack on top of the english
installation. Is this also correct for R2?

I saw some days ago (in http://licensing.microsoft.com , products download
area, selecting the product Windows Server Standard) that the Spanish
localised version of R2 was already available, but only 32bits version!
However, in our case (we have just bought a dual Xeon server) we would like
to install R2 x64 but localised into spanish.

What would be the downloads that we need to do and the steps to follow in
order to achieve this?

Note: We have VLKs (among others) for:

Win Server 2003 R2 x32 Ed.
Win Server 2003 R2 x64 Ed. <-- We'd like to use this one
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003, x64 Ed.

To start with, I supposed that we would need the following download:
* Windows Svr Std 2003 R2 32-bit/x64 English Disk Kit MVL MVLS Only ISO CD
and then install this one:
* Windows Svr Std 2003 w/SP1 32-bit/x64 English/MultiLang Disk Kit MVL CD

However, since the latter download is not explicitly for R2, all the new
management functions, programs, help files, etc, included in R2 were not
translated into spanish, and remained in the original english.

Is there any (or there will be any) MUI for R2 x64? By now, a have a server
with a mixture of english/spanish. The basic behaviour of Win2003 Std w/SP1
is localised, but the new things included with R2 are in inglish.

Might I need to install the MUI ##before## the second CD of R2? Honestly, I
don't think that would make any difference.

Regards and thanks in advance.

Not sure if its compatible with Server 2003, but both R2 x64 and Server 2003
x64 RTM are both the same products.

Re: Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 localised into spanish by jagbarcelo

Your URL for downloading CD2 of MUI Pack is part of what I called 'Windows
Svr Std 2003 w/SP1 32-bit/x64 English/MultiLang Disk Kit MVL CD'. I had
already downloaded it and applied to Win 2003 Std x64 R2 (after having
installed CD2 of R2).

As I said, the problem is that the aditional functionalities added with R2
are not translated and I have an OS where the core (Win2003) is translated
and the R2 add-ons are in english.

Is there any expected MUI pack for R2 x64 or should I install something
else? Besides of the lack of x64 drivers for many devices (which seems to be
the subject that people complain the most), this weird way of having a
localised versions seems a bit buggy (..faulty..not elegant...whatever) to
me. Why didn't Microsoft release localised versions of their x64 products the
same way they did for their 32bits versions?

Regards.

Hi Jagbarcelo,

Unfortunately I don't have a direct answer for this, I would recommend you
contact the vendor of the Volume License agreement to find out if such a MUI
is in existence or will be soon.
