I add them to my copy using Nlite and every thing done ok after that I set my input language with nlite to Arabic like this picture

Note...arabic is found and this picture prove this

my winnt.sif regional setting like this

[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup=1,13
SystemLocale="00000401"
UserLocale="00000401"
UserLocale_DefaultUser="00000401"
InputLocale="0409:00000409, 0401:00000401"
InputLocale_DefaultUser="0409:00000409, 0401:00000401"

then i make iso file and install it in Virtual pc 2007 then i try to write in arabic and couldnt that when i go to the regional setting the arabic not found there

i search on the net and i found a registry file to restore language bar and not work

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}]
@="Language bar"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{540D8A8B-1C3F-4E32-8132-530F6A502090}\InProcServer32]

"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

where is the problem ??? and how could i solve it???

I had this problem too (with another language).

Create a text file (ie, nls.txt).

Paste your 'Regional Settings' from winnt.sif

and save.

Then run:

Rundll32 shell32,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,/f:"<path>\nls.txt"

I have it run after a silent install of a language pack during cmdlines.txt,

but you could run it at RunonceEX or guirunonce.

Hope this helps.
