How to install East Asian language in Windows XP SP3 without CD

 After searching web, here is the method that works when you don't have the CD with you:

  1. Download Windows XP SP3 patch from The Software Patch
  2. Open the downloaded exe file using winRAR and extract the files to a local folder (folderX)
  3. Download East Asian Language pack and extract files to a local folder (folderY). Someone has posted a link at youtubehttp://megaupload.com/?d=YTTGBX0R
  4. Go to Start menu
  5. Click Run
  6. Type"intl.cpl" and click OK
  7. Go to Languages tab
  8. Put a check mark beside "Install files for East Asian languages" and click OK
  9. If prompt for "cplexe.ex_" or "cplexe.exe" file, use the browse button to find it in [folderX]/i386/lang/cplexe.ex_
  10. If prompt for other files,  use the browse button to find it in [folderY]
  11. Reboot your computer
