↑ Back to the top


Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have a computer that is running Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
  • You try to create a multilanguage image for Windows Server 2012 R2 that includes the Thai server language pack.
  • You copy the WinPE boot.wim file from the Microsoft Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK), and you insert the necessary optional components from the WinPE_OCs folder including:
    • WinPE-Setup.cab
    • WinPE-Setup-Server.cab
    • th-th\lp.cab
    • th-th\WinPE-Setup_th-th.cab
    • th-th\WinPE-Setup-Server_th-th.cab

    Note
    By default, these files are located in the following path:
    C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\8.1\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCs
  • You run the setup for this image.
In this scenario, the WinPE setup user interface (UI) that should be localized in Thai is not displayed correctly. Instead of Thai characters, some square boxes are displayed.

Cause

This issue occurs because the required Thai font is not included with WinPE, and because some required optional components are also not included in the ADK.
