TimeZone=085 isn't working

[Savas]

Hello.

I'm new to the board and also a beginner to "Unattended Windows" so forgive me if I'm asking an already answered question. I tried searching, but couldn't figure out my problem, so my only option is to ask here. I've mostly figured out and configured everything how I want it to, but TimeZone= doesn't seem to want to set properly to my prefered Time Zone, which is; "((GMT) Greenwich Mean Time: Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London)" rather it stays at "((GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US and Canada); Tijuana)"

Here is my WINNT.SIF file;

;Savas XPCD09SAV04
[Data]
	AutoPartition=1
	MsDosInitiated=0
	UnattendedInstall=Yes

[Unattended]
	KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"
	OemPreinstall=No
	UnattendMode=ProvideDefault

[GuiUnattended]
	AdminPassword="*"
	ProfilesDir="%SystemDrive%\Users\"
	TimeZone=085

[UserData]
	FullName="Savas"
	ProductKey=*

[RegionalSettings]
	Language=00000809
	LanguageGroup=1

[Identification]
	JoinWorkgroup=GROUP23

[Components]
	msmsgs=off
	msnexplr=off

I also changed TXTSETUP.SIF. So that United Kingdom is properly set as Location/Language. (I don't really know what UnicodeCasetable = l_intl.nls,0809 does exactly, though.)

DefaultLayout	= 00000809
UnicodeCasetable = l_intl.nls,0809

I think I need to manually edit the default Time Zone within TXTSETUP.SIF, but I just can't find it.

Here's one of my previous posts I found it using the search facility!

Yes, I read that thread and tried it also, but I never used OEMSkipRegional=1 and I just read somewhere that UnattendMode=ProvideDefault ignored TimeZone= or something.

Going to try something now and report back..

I basically tried exactly what you posted, but it did not work. I'm guessing your UnattendMode= was NOT ProvideDefault. I still get (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US and Canada); Tijuana. There's a simple solution to this and it's to find the default Time Zone setting to edit. Because ProvideDefault seems to ignore [Components] and TimeZone=. It's obviously getting -08:00 from somewhere.

Try these settings, they've always worked for me!

Under [unattended]

   KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"

Under [GuiUnattended]

   OEMSkipRegional=1
	TimeZone=85

And finally use this section

[RegionalSettings]
	LanguageGroup=1
	SystemLocale=00000809
	UserLocale=00000809
	InputLocale=0809:00000809

----

I also don't see why to use

	SystemLocale=00000809
	UserLocale=00000809
	InputLocale=0809:00000809

when

Language=00000809

replaces all three of the syntax above.

From ref.chm

One of the language groups specified in the LanguageGroup entry must support this language. If an available language group does not support the locale, Setup uses the default language for this version of Windows.

+Important

If you specify this entry, Setup ignores the SystemLocale, UserLocale, and InputLocale entries.

For some reason whilst testing my XPcd in VMware NO regional settings or keyboard layouts took effect, but after burning it to CD and testing it on my spare hard drive they did?

This also might be an issue, as I'm using Microsoft Virtual PC. I'm going to try on a real machine once I complete my CD.
