This error code indicates that the version of the language pack is for a different architecture. This can happen if you are trying to install a language pack for an x86-based computer onto an x64-based computer. In this case, you should verify that the language pack is supported for your architecture.
Error code 0x80070308
This error code indicates that the language pack is either invalid or corrupt. Lpksetup could not validate the contents of the .cab file for this language pack. Some files in the language pack may be missing or corrupted. To fix this issue, verify the source of the language pack.
Verify
To verify that the language pack was successfully installed or removed:
- In Control Panel, click Change display language (located under the Clock, Language, and Region section).
- Verify the language is listed (or not listed) in the drop-down list.
Note: The drop-down list will only be visible if you have already installed a language pack or if your operating system supports Multilingual User Interface (MUI). MUI language packs can only be installed on Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Vista Enterprise.
