[OpenAFS] WindowsNT, non-English Installations

Below is a statement about doing Non-english Installations for Windows
NT/2000:
> when i try to install OpenAFS 1.1.1a on Microsoft WINDOWS NT SP6 it
fails.
> Error:
>
> DLL failed
> Couldn't openC:\TEMP\_INST2.DIR\_INST0.DIR\GetWebDLL.dll
>> A coworker had the same problem.
>> Try the english version. This DLL seems to be missing in the german
>> version.
I'm aware that the install script for Windows NT/2000 allows selection of
non-english languages. However, when I added the capability to select the
Drive Mapping and the CellServDB to the installation, I didn't configure
these options to work with the non-english installations.
I would like to know if there are OpenAFS members using these non-english
installations?
If the OpenAFS community is using a non-english installations then there
are a few things that could be done:
Patch the Install Scripts so it includes a complete set of modules for
each language.
Patch Installation dialogue boxes to support each language.
Test non-english installations.
I can patch the install script (item 1) to support non-english
installations; however, this would still leave english dialog boxes for
non-english installations.
Can someone in the OpenAFS community provide non-english translations for
the dialog boxes (item 2) or confirm non-english installations (item 3)?
For example, these modules should be modified to properly display
non-english text for GetWebDll:
.\config\afs_setup_utils\GetWebDll\GetWebDll.rc
.\config\afs_setup_utils\_isuser\_IsUser.rc

On windows 98 I keep getting the following:
(11:37: 6-930)Unable to authenticate to AFS because:
'code = 98: requested ticket lifetime invalid'.
Anyone know how to get around this?

After considerable research I can tell you that that:
-this issue exists in 2.2
-this issue is not SMP specific
-this issue exists in OpenAFS 1.0 base (essentially AFS 3.6)
-it's likely later IBM AFS versions have the same problem, but that is
outside the scope of this.
Basically the problem is we're currently trying to play like everyone else
in the dentry universe, but in our case we have a fixed-size pool of
inodes (which to us look like vcache entries). So when d_add wires down a
directory inode, this effectively cuts into the pool of inodes available
to us. The default parameter is 300 and we allow up to 2 times this to be
in use before we panic.
Realistically the leak seems to affect only volume root vnodes, however,
after some thought I believe the correct fix in light of the relative
danger in our world of having too many entries wired down is to wire down
none of them.
Currently we d_add in afs_linux_lookup(). We cannot remove this d_add as
it would preclude us from returning valid data. However, there is a way we
can avoid actually creating dcache entries. After the call to d_add, a
call to d_drop the dcache entry is added immediately. The performance
implication is that we lose the dcache; However the AFS cache still has
this data so not dcaching does not cause any extra network traffic.
Extensive testing proves this fixes the problem.
The fix will be committed shortly and will be in the next OpenAFS version,
which in the interest of making people with Linux releases done since
OpenAFS 1.2.1 happy should be available within the next week. (And of
course once this is done we releases should be driven far less frequently
by Linux kernel changes)

I have finally got the client on Win2K to work, no small thanks to a number
of fine folks on this list, but I do seem to have one additional issue, it
seems that the service just stops running ever 15 to thirty minutes
and it dumps the following in the event log:
