SharePoint 2010 Language Pack Downloader Updated to 1.5

On July 21, 2011, in Administration, Environment Setup, Language Packs, MUI, SharePoint, Update, by matdesmarais

There was an update to the SharePoint 2010 language pack downloader to handle selecting and deselecting all the language packs at once.

This was a feature update requested by Ryan Dennis (@SharePointRyan). Ryan originally created a powershell script to download ALL the language packs, I took his idea and made this tool where you could pick and choose the ones you wanted. It is only fitting to have this checkbox to again download ALL of the language packs.

Thanks Ryan.

  Hi Mathieu,
  great work!
  But I encounter problems running your tool on different machines.
  When I start for example to download all the language packs for SPS2010 after a short time it stops running and gets an error. I would like to send you the errors I get and perhaps you can fix it.
  Thanks in advance.
  Best Regards,
  Justin

Thanks for creating such a nice tool for downloading language pack. I am getting an error when I click download button. I tried latest version as well as previous one and they all throw same error: Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue application is going to ignore the error. If you quit application will close.
Invalid URI: The format of URI couldn’t be determined.
When I click continue, nothing happens it just says start downloads of selected language pack, please wait.
Can you kindly look into it? May be MS changed the download location?Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Syed
