The way I do it in my unattended XP SP2 setup is via a reg file which is run at RunOnceEX. What I want is to use the 'US' locale with finnish kb layout and here's how it's done: ;----- ;----- Set Keyboard Layout to Finnish ;----- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes] "00000409"="0000040b" [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Substitutes] "d0000409"="0000040b" Not sure if the same reg tweak applies to Win2k, can't check right now, but I'd think so. And you'll have to check your current system for the right code for the azerty layout to replace the "40b". Alternatively, you might try to manually edit your WINNT.SIF.. Just replace the "40b" to whatever the code is for azerty layout. Have never tried this, so don't know if it actually works. The reg tweak should work for all users, though. [RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000409 UserLocale=00000409 InputLocale=0409:0000040b Here's some explanations: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...;289125&sd=tech

I like to use nLite to remove and tweak some stuff. Just doing everything in one go (except the ISO creation, it-of course-has no affect) seemed to resolve my Wizard problem.

Ok, after numerous tests I finally managed yesterday to install the nLightened (1.0b5) XP without the annoying wizard ever popping up... What I did earlier with nLite was: 1. first import the RyanVM's hotfix pack without doing anything else at that time and close nLite. 2. then start nLite again and imported all other hotfixes -> close nLite 3. started nLite 3rd time, do remove/tweak/patch/unattended, and close nLite 4. added SI3112A RAID controller drivers manually and tweaked $OEM$ directories 5. started nLite and made an ISO 6. burn and install -> Wizard pops up Yesterday I did 1-3. in one sitting, although only imported the RyanVM's pack and not the other hotfixes and closed nLite. Then again added SATA drivers and $OEM$ dirs and made the ISO with nLite. This time there was no Wizard. Now I just need to try to import the rest of the hotfixes and see what happens...

I just recently discovered this board and got very interested in building an unattended XP installation media for myself... Anyawy, this same annoying "feature" has now appeared in my setup as well. Right now I'm pretty clueless as to what exactly causes it and I haven't had too much time to troubleshoot it yet. I'm using the nLite 1.0 b5 to import RyanVM's 1.2.2 Full hotfix pack and 10-15 other hotfixes which are not included in the pack. Also to remove some stuff (not too much) from and tweak the setup. This worked fine at first, but evidently I did something somewhere to invoke this behaviour... The Wizard first pops up to install some SoundBlaster-related drivers during when RunOnceEx is installing software. I might even be able to live with that since it doesn't really interfere and can be ignored, but where it gets particularly annoying is when it pops up for anything that wasn't plugged in during the installation -- even hard drives. First it asks to install drivers for the newly attached HD itself and then once for every partition that is found from the drive. This is clearly not acceptable. I don't want to disable the wizard since that would probably just leave all new-found hardware driverless, just find how to restore its original behaviour. Gotta continue the tests when I get off work later...
