Hi,

my unattend installations works fine, except one problem:

It hangs always on the screen where I can enter my country and language information (like this: http://www.aozeo.com/dotclear/images/vista-installation2.jpg )

This is my unattend xml file:

</unattend>

I first put the country and language information only in the windowsPE pass. But I read about it that I have to put it also in the specialize and oobeSystem pass. But the result is the same as before

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

I dont think you should mix US and DE language, use DE in all places !?

Hello PommeDeTerre,

All instances of underscores should be changed to dashes.

en_US

de_DE

SHOULD BE:

en-US

de-DE

and all instances of <UILanguageFallback></UILanguageFallback> can be safely deleted.

Let us know if it works out.
