October 28, 2012The service pack you are attemtping to install does not contain the proper language files to match the installed version of Win7 on your system. Download the multi-language service pack or a language specific version of the service pack from the Microsoft website and attempt installation again.
this is the right answer man, you should download the multi-language service pack or a language specific version of the service pack from the Microsoft website first

October 28, 2012Have you tried running in English then changing language after? Is your Win7 Genuine? Sounds like needs contact with MS if all is legit as it could be a bug.

October 28, 2012What language are you using? I use Japanese so it shouldn’t be causing problem. Is your copy of Win7 original?

October 28, 2012I think you should select the default language you installed the windows!
But, if you have installed all the updates, it’s not necessary to install service pack 1 of it! Also, if you want to install another language in your windows, check the ‘other’ section on windows updates, and select the language you want! If that doesn’t work check this site, and download & install the language you want!

October 29, 2012Did you install the update via automatic mode? Try doing it manually by downloading it from the site in the link below and install it -
