Autounattend.xml - TimeZone Prompt

**nickster** · February 27, 2010

Hi..

i'm kinda new to the world of WAIK and unattended installations and I've just made my very first Windows 7 customized installation disc. It all works well except that I get prompted to select the timezone at the end of the install process.

Would someone be able to have a look at my autounattend.xml file and point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance..

</unattend>

I think it may have something to do with the UILanguage or other locale settings. Should I be using en-UK instead of en-GB?

If you need any more info, please let me know

Try running your TimeZone from the OOBE pass.

or Integrating it into the WIM with DISM /SET-TIMEZONE command.

Thank you for the reply MrJinje...I followed your advice regarding the OOBE pass and everything works perfectly now.

Thanks again

Hello everyone,

I want to prompt for the Time Zone and Regional settings but no matter what I do, they default to the standard values.

I also tried using this posting as an example and set the Time Zone within the Specialize pass, but it continues to use the default.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any solutions\recommendations
