Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

Microsoft has provided a version of the WinFX Runtime Components for the general public. In addition to installing the WinFX Runtime Components, installing a Language Pack will allow you to see translated text, such as error messages, in your selected language.

• 
  The WinFX language packs contain translated text, such as error messages, for languages other than English. Installation of a language pack is not required to run WinFX resources on a non-English operating system; however, it is recommended.
  
  Important: To install the WinFX Language Pack, you need to first install the WinFX Runtime Components February CTP - and then install the Language Pack.
  
  Note: An English WinFX language pack is not available because all text is in English by default. To download a specific language pack, select the target language from the change language drop-down.
