Strange problem with Autounattend


Recommended Posts

I am coming through very wear behavior with my Autounattend:

I have english/Arabic mui ultimate w7 32bit with language integrated in both install.wim and boot.wim index2

Every thing is OK

but........

It seems when ever I add windows pe setting pass the very first welcome language select page + repair page + upgrade page not showing anymore regardless setting in Autounattend!!!

it will jump directly to second language select page !!! on the other hand ; when I delete WINDOWSPE pass the above pages are displayed but the spesialize and oobe passes are ignored ,

I rerpeat again : I have no problem regarding language integration or installation .

some body saied that there is conflict between Autounattend and these pages.

please help me.

here is my Autounattend.xml attached

Don't forget to remove the key inside the file when this one is attached !

You need to add the pass="windowsPE" (example):


<settings pass="windowsPE">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="NonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SetupUILanguage>
<UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
</SetupUILanguage>
<InputLocale>1809:00001809</InputLocale>
<UserLocale>en-IE</UserLocale>
<UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
<SystemLocale>en-IE</SystemLocale>
</component>

And adding also inside pass="oobeSystem":


<settings pass="oobeSystem">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
<UserLocale>en-IE</UserLocale>
<SystemLocale>en-IE</SystemLocale>
<InputLocale>1809:00001809</InputLocale>
</component>

Integration for the language pack also inside boot.wim (index:1).

You can check your file with WSIM.

Thank you both for your kindness and fast response

however....you don't seems to understand my issue :unsure:

pls reread my topic and focus on the BOLD statments

Dear myselfidem

I have zero issue regarding language integration or selection or installation !

and I dont use recovery environment that why i didnt integrate boot.wim index:1

I know you want to help me but please read my topic again it says everything

the brief: I want to see the very first welcome language select page (which says: my language is english and لغتي هي العربية ) and I have to delete the WindowsPE setting pass completly to see it !!! I want to kill my self just to know the relation between them :(

Dear Tripredacus

the key I am using is OK and my ultimate seems to like it :rolleyes:

anyway I well not insert it in my autounattended in the future.

thank you

It seems you need to check the lang.ini file for the available languages for the silent installation!

Lang.ini file is inside: %Distribution_Folder%\sources\lang.ini

Understanding Multilingual Deployments

If you deploy Windows using Windows Setup and you have added or removed language packs from the distribution share, you must recreate the Lang.ini file. Windows Setup uses the Lang.ini file to identify the language packs inside the image and within the Windows distribution share. The Lang.ini file is also used to identify the language that will be displayed during Windows Setup. Regenerating the Lang.ini file is also necessary if you plan to create recovery media for images that contain multiple languages.

Languages and International Servicing Command-Line Options

Dism.exe with /Gen-LangINI to create a new lang.ini file.

Change inside your Autounattend.xml the settings pass="windowsPE" to:


<settings pass="windowsPE">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<SetupUILanguage>
<WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI>
</SetupUILanguage>
</component>

Some help:

*Edit:

It seems when ever I add windows pe setting pass the very first welcome language select page + repair page + upgrade page not showing anymore regardless setting in Autounattend!!!

Using Autounattend.xml file we can't have the first page to use + repair page + (etc)! We need to use Windows without Autounattend.xml file!
