Language Pack names

[LBCS]

I've setup a WDS-server and everything is working just fine. Except one beauty problem:

When i use no answer file & i put in my keyboard layout and credentials manually i see the correct language pack names... however, when i do use an answer file i only see the "short" naming.. This is ugly. The language packs itself installs just fine. A picture says more than a thousand words, so i included 2 screenshots and my answer file to clarify things.

I think I’ve tried just about everything and i just can't find a solution.

Useful info:

- The problem occurs when using an answer file with the boot.wim file

- The server is a Windows 2008 R2 x64 UK SP1

- On the server the keyboard layout is nl-BE and en-US

- When i specify ONLY the server's credentials, i don't see the screen asking for the keyboard layout

- When i specify ONLY the keyboard layout, i see all the screens (includes: keyboard & credentials)

- Even when i specify both and also specify to show the screen to "always" it seems to ignore this setting

- Adding language packs to the boot.wim does not make a difference

- Adding language packs to the install.wim files or adding language packs during the setupfase does not make a difference

- I am using a Dutch boot.wim, but using an English boot.wim file does not make a difference

- I just use the WAIK tools... so i don't use MDT-2010 (and i don't want to ) and i don't want to use tools like nLite, rt7lite, etc...

- I spend a lot of time on Google and the TechNet documentation... and I’m tired of seeing the same information over and over again

Our deployment scenario:

- We deploy with WDS every version of Windows Vista/7 x86/x64, so the windows selection screen must be present

- The main language install is Dutch... occasionally some other language then Dutch

- Sometime we have people who have data on their computer, so the disc partition screen must be present

- All our images are custom build (as in another default user profile etc...) and captured though the WDS-capture wizard.

Am i missing something? Is it a feature? Is it a bug? Thanks in advance for reading this post.

So to get that little window with language selection you did what exactly?

Nothing special that is what happens when you add the boot.wim file to a WDS-server. The installation screens when you boot from the DVD is indeed not the same, but the problem remains the same
