    Cannot remove language packs from Vista

    I recently updated my Vista Ultimate version to Service Pack 1 by Windows Update which also installed all other 35 optional language packs that were available. As most of the lanuguage packs installed are either chinese or japanese which I dont want at all. So I started uninstalling them but the problem is I am not able to remove some the language packs that are currently installed on my pc? At the end of the uninstall process all I am getting is language packs failed to uninstall after trying several attempts? Does anyone have any solution for this? Thank you

    Did you try to disable UAC if you are still having problems removing the language packs disable system restore, disable the windows update service, delete the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder, reboot, and then do this:

    Then run lpksetup and remove each language pack one at a time.
