MOSS 2007 Lanugage Pack comes in .img format, which you can burn to a CD and then use it for installing Language pack. If you’re working remotely or working with a server that has no CD/DVD drive, this might pose a slight problem.

You can avoid this in a simple way:

1. Rename the .img file into an .iso file.

2. Download 7-zip portable version and extract the executable to a folder on your server desktop.

3. Navigate to the extracted folder and run 7-ZipPortable.exe.

4. Browse and open (double-click) the renamed .iso file

5. You can extract all files from the .iso to another folder on your desktop

Now you can browse to that folder and run the setup of language pack with no problem.

If you’re in SharePoint branding, this small command-line utility might come in handy. If you have a custom template made and deployed to server and after a while you need to make a small modification, you can already be stuck with hundreds of subwebs using your custom template. If you make a change to the existing template, the change won’t be visible in the existing templates until you apply another theme and apply the same theme again to each of those webs.

Because this can be a painstaking job, I’ve composed a simple command-line utility to cycle through all of the webs in a site collection and apply default theme and reapply existing theme.

You can download it from CodePlex.

Usage is simple. Download it to the server running Windows SharePoint Services site you wish to reTheme. Open command prompt in the download folder and run command retheme http://site_collection_url.
