Installing Windows Share Point Services with a MLUI under Windows 2008 R2 (64Bit) using an MS-SQL Database
Welcome everybody.
Today I would like to show you how to install the Windows Share Point Services 3.0 with an Multi-Language User Interface under Windows 2008 R2 using an external MS-SQL Database.
1. Download the WSS with the integrated Service Pack 2 X64 from here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9FB41E51-CB03-4B47-B89A-396786492CBA&displaylang=en)
2. Download the needed Language Packs X64 Version 1.0 (e.g. German: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=45FA2637-EFC0-4ED6-8F47-8A013E9CE9D9&displaylang=de)
3. Download SP2 for the just downloaded Language Pack (it is not possible to install the SP2 for an Language Pack without installing the Language Pack first – I didn’t find an integrated version on the Microsoft Homepage) (e.g. German: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2C2B6CAF-B46D-45EB-AC4D-DEAAA48C3A2C&displaylang=de)
4. Now you have to prepare the Windows 2008 R2 Server for WSS 3.0
5. The next step is to create a new SQL-Database on you SQL Server with a useful name (like SharePoint_Config).
ATTENTION: It is really important to change the sorting to “Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS” otherwise the Database will not be usable!!
Furthermore you have to grant an AD-User “DB-Owner rights” for the just created Database. Moreover this user must have the rights to “Log on as a Service” and “Log on as a batch job” – both can either be configured by using a group-policy or by modifying the local security settings.

6. After you installed all necessary roles/features and created User/Database you can start with the WSS Installation:
l. When you now click on finish the SharePoint-Administration-Website should be launched and ask you for administrative login information’s. Log-In with an Administrator-Account – now the Administration-Website is visible. Just close the Website: We will now install the Multi-Language-User interface.
iii. Now Service Pack 2 has to be installed for the Language Pack – start with accepting license.
7. Finished 🙂
You can now create a SharePoint Website and choose a language for this Website. BUT it is not possible (or better: I didn’t find a solution for it) to display a Website in two language. So you have to choose at the Website CREATION in which language the Website will be displayed!!
