New Test Updates / Language Packs

[detoxa]

Has anyone else noticed that Windows Update has new "Test Updates & Language Packs" or am i a bit slow on the uptake ?

 

[DaRonRon]

yeah they came out today. Im not sure if i want to install the language packs though, i only use english, but i want my pc to feel complete by having all updates instaled.

I can't see any languagepacks? Just a new driver for my onboard netcard.
Is this because I'm running 64bit?

Try checking updates.
I just did and they popped up for me.

I Don't want to change display language though, the translations are not that great.
Also I hate finnish, english is much better language, wish I could move to USA or something...

 

[Brink]

Nope, I do not have them either yet with the 64-bit Windows 7 RC (7127 build).

have not looked at the x86 on my two other win 7's . I had to manually run them and restart. lm

Yeah, I got it too on my x64 Build 7100.
I don't like all those languagepacks installed on my system, but I don't like the "idea" of "30 optional updates"...

7127 won't receive updates, the only updates you will get will be driver updates and for installed Microsoft apps from Microsoft Update.

 

[Sven]

Oh, now I have them. Could it be because I'm in Denmark (a far away corner of Europe), and that Microsoft don't open for the whole world at once?
I will try and install the Danish language pack and see how good (or bad) the translation is.

I just found them. I'll install the test updates, but none of the language packs.

I also recieved these language updates, are they needed or nessessary?

 

[Sven]

Only if you want Windows 7 to be in a different language

 

[dlrarjr]

thanks for your reply sven.

 

[antt]

if you dont want it to always say '30 optional updates' just select all of them and right-click>hide updates. for those who want to know

That's right, you'll only get these offered from WU in the RC, not 7127.

I attempted to install the 4 test updates and the IE8 update..
After restart, the update kept stalling configuring at 67%...
Restarted multiple times, same issue. Booted into safe mode, it stalled at reverting changes.
Booted into normal mode, failed at reverting changes.
Booted back into safe mode, this time it worked.
Rebooted back into normal mode, and my system is ok, with those updates not installed.

I have the worst luck with Windows Update, and it seems always related to an IE8 update.

No luck for 7127 Language Packs, Anyhow who cares for language Packs....
