My school is taking some donated laptops from the United States on a mission trip to Peru. These computers are all running Windows Vista Business in English. We need to switch these computers to use Spanish. I have not been successful in installing the Spanish Language Interface Pack (LIP), and according to the Microsoft website, it looks like even the Spanish LIP might require Windows Vista Ultimate.

Is there a way to switch these computers to Spanish on Windows Vista Business edition?

This is not possible with Vista Business. The Home and Business Editions are single language editions, where you can't install a new MUI. You need the Enterprise or Ultimate Edition.

To change the language you need to reinstall the Windows and use a Spanish Vista DVD/ISO.
