Vista Premium Only in English?

Hello all, I got a Vaio AR31M and I just did a clean install.. it came installed with a dutch version of Windows Vista Home Premium.. but when performing a clean install I can only select english.. and MUI's can only be used on Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate 😞 can anyone help me please? Is there a fix for this?

Hi Ikki,

Are you making the clean install from a Retail Disc of Vista or from the Sony OEM Recovery media?

If you are using a Retail Disc then you need the Dutch Version.

As you said, the language MUI Pack is only available in Vista Ultimate.

Recovering your Vaio using the Vaio Recovery Utility or Recovery Discs will reinstall Vista Home Premium in Dutch. Why not use this and just don't install the Sony Applications?

You own a Vista Home Premium OEM License in Dutch. If you use another installation disc you will need to obtain a Dutch Version or purchase a seperate license.
