Uninstall Language pack from CRM 2013

Scenario​ :
Many of you might have experienced following problem while you try to uninstall the existing Language pack from CRM 2013 server. If that is same as following why you are investing much of the time to investigate the reason behind it and resolve, Well because I have the answer for you.

 This is because, the setup is trying to uninstall but the admin does not have the permission to uninstall. Then how come Admin cannot execute the administrative task. :)
Solution :
The uninstallation process have to be done in elevated privilege mode. In order to do that, we need to identify the installation unique id.
  • Go to Regedit (Run > RegEdit)
  • Navigate to HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Uninstall
  • Find the language pack installation by going over all the GUID and from details panel.


  • In the properties panel, copy the value for "UninstallString". In my case, it is MsiExec.exe /X{0C524DC1-1407-0060-8121-88490F4D5549}
  • Run the command prompt with administrative mode
  • Execute the copied command
Thats it, you are uninstalling the language pack without any problem.
