a problem with language and region seting

[shagdlic]

well i installed x64 edition with sp2 slipstream and after that i notice i can't change my Unicode to a specific language (Hebrew in my case) and also i couldn't use any other type of keyboard but English.

i thought that my install disc (a backup copy with SP2) is a bad copy (maybe nlited one) so i got a new original copy of x64 edition (upgrade version) from work (using my own serial) and slipstreamed sp2 my self and burn it to a CD-RW to try and repair the original installation (witch might solve my problem). well after that, it's enabled my to chose Hebrew Unicode (and other as well - not giving me an error massage) and also choosing other languages as my keyboard BUT except Hebrew (thats sucks monkey balls). can i copy manually the files that will enabled me Hebrew keyboard? maybe there's other solution (without a clean install of the OS again)?

thank in advance for the help,

Itai.

there's defintively a solution to this i would presume. At least it should be relatively easy to get keyboard setup back in. If i were you and had that problem i would install the Xp x64 in a virtual pc, virtualbox, vmware server (free trial works perfect), or some other tool like that. (actually i would make a nlite xp x64 cd again and rather reinstall, nls files can be troublesome)

When you have done that, i would simply open regedit, and search for hebrew nls files.

Started building X64 sysprep image......He ask me for the hebrew language files during the mini setup (C_10021.nls....And more). Is there a way to pass it ? i used the xp32 sysprep.inf (With the X64 Product id).

Possibly start checking on what files are what language, i couldnt tell whats hebrew as i cant read it, most likely however it will include the word hebrew, and you could simply search all files with text content as the word hebrew.

Enable Folder sharing in Vmware, and copy files from your clean xp x64 vmware install to your broken host system, and take it from there.

Also dont forget to copy registry entries and update inf files. And yes, it kinda gets a bit of work to be done. I am however no expert at this, and possibly there is a much much simpler way.
