Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/+ and Windows Server 2008 (R2)/2012 (R2)/+ have already enabled complex script support by default. You do not need to proceed with the following steps.
Windows XP/Server 2003 (R2) come with complex script support but this support is not enabled by default and usually needs to be enabled manually except that the language of your Windows version or the default language of your Windows is a complex script. Please follow the steps below. (It’s strongly recommended to upgrade your operating system.)

4. At this point you may be asked to insert a Windows CD so that Windows can copy the necessary files to your system.
This Windows CD does not have to be the original CD which came with your computer, or the CD from which you originally installed Windows, but it must be for the same version of the installed Windows.
If you cannot find a proper CD, please try the following file (for 32-bit Windows XP only). Extract the file and you will get folder Complex. When you are prompt to insert a Windows CD, point to folder Complex/XP.
