I use <InputLocale>0409:00000409</InputLocale> in "windowsPE" only but my image is english only

I knew myselfdiem had covered that but had to find myself. I've kinda become dormant waiting on Win 8. Looks to be about the same thank goodness. Switch from XP unattend was a big one.

Yeah, same for me... I ain't pro but I think <InputLocale> under WindowsPE is different and serves for the purpose of setting initial setup environment for Windows install while <InputLocale> under oobeSystem is to kinda "please" user experience - hence initializes and sets up things as user wants to see on the screen on the very final stage of setup...

Just my 2 cents BUT I would be very grateful to hear more about differences of SAME settings and their functions at different passes... E.g., OEM info can be used at several locations throughout setup - the same values BUT under different passes. Can anybody enlighten me WHY it's designed as such?!?

I have a win7 AIO dvd with 9 images.

do x86 and x64 behave different ? (I mean installing options because there is only one autouattend.xml file.)

x86 images ask user creation only as I would like to.

But x64 images ask two more options. :(

I spend many time trying to create partitions like is explained inside "Unattended Windows Setup Reference for Windows 7.chm:

- Unattended Installation Settings Reference

- Components

- Microsoft-Windows-Setup

- DiskConfiguration

- Disk

- ModifyPartition

- Extend

Whithout success and always errors! It seems there is an error inside the .chm document!?

But if I change like this, works fine: :whistle:

Yay, I ran into new problem. What do I need to change/set in the answer file to change time and currency format? I am preparing an image for notebook for foreign employees and the system language needs to be english of course. The catch is I absolutely hate american format and want it changed. The most universal would be UK english format I guess, but how do I set that? WSIM documentation only mentions en-US. I need to set what you find in control panel-region and language-format tab. Which setting is that?

Actually, nevermind. Figured it out. The only thing I am unhappy about is I have two keyboard layouts installed now.

Fighting with setting searsch scopes atm. I can't seem to manage to eliminate Bing!

1) Is there a way to DELETE a search scope?

2) Tthis doesn't seem to work fully:


        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-IE-InternetExplorer" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="[url="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State[/url]" xmlns:xsi="[url="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance[/url]">
            <DisableAccelerators>true</DisableAccelerators>
            <DisableFirstRunWizard>true</DisableFirstRunWizard>
            <DisableOOBAccelerators>true</DisableOOBAccelerators>
            <EnableLinksBar>false</EnableLinksBar>
            <FavoritesDelete>true</FavoritesDelete>
            <Home_Page>http://www.google.com</Home_Page>
            <SuggestedSitesEnabled>false</SuggestedSitesEnabled>
            <ShowInformationBar>true</ShowInformationBar>
            <SearchScopes>
                <Scope wcm:action="add">
                    <ScopeDefault>true</ScopeDefault>
                    <DisplayQuickPick>false</DisplayQuickPick>
                    <ScopeKey>Search1</ScopeKey>
                    <ScopeDisplayName>Google</ScopeDisplayName>
                    <ScopeUrl>http://www.google.com/search?q=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1</ScopeUrl>
                    <FaviconURL>http://www.google.com/favicon.ico</FaviconURL>
                    <ShowSearchSuggestions>false</ShowSearchSuggestions>
                </Scope>
            </SearchScopes>
            <DisableDevTools>true</DisableDevTools>
        </component>

posted whole component code in case there;s something bad elsewhere...

What I managed to do is adding Google as search, BUT it;s not default and the **** Bing is still there, and as number one.

Please help! :)

systemlocale is not needed in oobesystem?

I don't use with my Autounattend.xml file, inside <settings pass="oobeSystem">, and works fine; because it's already set inside: <settings pass="windowsPE">

About Keyboards; look inside the Registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts]

en-US


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000409]
"Layout Text"="US"
"Layout Display Name"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\input.dll,-5000"
"Layout File"="KBDUS.DLL"

en-GB


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00000809]
"Layout File"="KBDUK.DLL"
"Layout Text"="United Kingdom"
"Layout Display Name"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\input.dll,-5025"

And to add a bit more to the unattended mystery, I do have the Total Commander ini file copying working:



                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>12</Order>
                    <CommandLine>cmd /c copy /y "%systemdrive%\install\TotalCommander\wincmd.ini" "%programfiles(x86)%\totalcmd\"</CommandLine>
                    <Description>copy Total Commander settings</Description>
                </SynchronousCommand>


but the SAME thing, only for UltraVNC, does not work at all!!!



                <SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
                    <Order>14</Order>
                    <CommandLine>cmd /c copy /y "%systemdrive%\install\UltraVNC\UltraVNC.ini" "%programfiles%\UltraVNC\"</CommandLine>
                    <Description>copy UltraVNC settings</Description>
                </SynchronousCommand>


What in the hell is this?

Is there a way to save output from these windows, like when it says "1 file copied" etc.?

Please help me guys, I have tried to change the default theme by autounattend.xml, I have tried

<Themes>

<CustomDefaultThemeFile>c:themefiles\nature.theme</CustomDefaultThemeFile>

<DefaultThemesOff>false</DefaultThemesOff>

</Themes>

in "microsoft-windows-sell-setup"

but not working then I have tried this one as well

<Themes>

<Themename>nature<Themename>

<DefaultThemesOff>false</DefaultThemesOff>

But this one also didn't work. Please tell me how can I change the default theme by xml only. I don't want to use other method of applying custom theme.

And to add a bit more to the unattended mystery,

Using quotes (") with Autounattend.xml, the best way is to check your file with WSIM and use: " (or write manually) like you will see when you save your customized Autounattend.xml file.

About Ultra_VNC, if using " do not work you can look at this post to create an unattended installation:

However, it seems you need to use the 64-bit version for your 64-bit computer !?
