bardugu , I have a better solution for you - Hebrew Mui , run it unattended and you wont have to seek for any more language solutions !

Here are the switches -

ECHO Installing HEBREW INTERFACE MUI

ECHO Please wait ...

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Applications\muiinst\muisetup.exe /i 040d /d 040d /r /s

:) enjoy

ironman -

basicly i dont like the hebrew mui, i find it buggy and a resource killer ..

i install it only if the client requests a hebrew interface, otherwise i rather not use

any 3rd party software and stick with what came along the xpcd

what i would like to ask you is,

maybe you know the command switch to install the mui unattended, with the interface on hebrew ?

i couldnt figure it out

thanks !

Sure - you simply edit the CMDLINE.txt in the $oem$ dir , (also copy the MUI dir into $OEM$ ) :

[command]

muiinst\muisetup.exe /i 040d /d 040d /r /s

What will happend is this - the installation of the MUI will start at the t-12 stage as a hebrew interface ... and that is it .

i'm sorry for the ignorance, but as far as i know

the $oem$ is being copied over to the hd, and usually files being executed by the runonce ..

which is after the t-12 stage

anyhow, i need the command for installing hebrew interface enabled, on a already installed xp ..

thanks ! :blushing:

edit : a switch that will set the language for menus and dialogs ..

I think you misunderstood me , the cmdlines.txt is running regardless the runonce , you can run it from any app that located under the $oem$ folder , so , if you run the MUI installation by the cmdline.txt , the first app which be installed is it - the MUI ( It's worked fine for me so just try it ) and with hebrew interface .

[Commands]

"muiinst\muisetup.exe [/i LangID1 LangID2 ...] [/d LangID] /r /s"

Try to read the MUI manual , here are the high lights :

5.0 INSTALLING MUI PACK IN UNATTEND MODE

=========================================================================

The following steps explain how to install the Windows MUI Pack in unattend mode.

1. Copy all the MUI files from MUI CDs into a temporary directory on a

network share, such as $OEM$\MUIINST.

In this example, we use a server \\MUICORE. The directory for the MUI CD

contents will be \\MUICORE\UNATTEND\$OEM$\MUIINST.

2. Add a "Cmdlines.txt" file in \\muicore\UNATTEND\$OEM$ that includes

the following lines:

[Commands]

"muiinst\muisetup.exe [/i LangID1 LangID2 ...] [/d LangID] /r /s"

Note that you must specify " " in your cmdlines.txt file. Use the

appropriate Language ID (LANGID)s, and the muisetup command line

parameters to ensure a quiet installation. Please check muisetup.hlp

for a complete description of all the command line parameters for

muisetup.exe (the command line help content is under "related topics"

in the help.).

3. Create an answer file (mui.txt):

a. add the following entries in the "Unattended" section

[unattended]

OemPreinstall=Yes

OemFilesPath=\\muicore\unattend

OemSkipEula=YES

"OemFilesPath" must point to a network share or drive containing the

MUI install source stored in the above directory structure.

The Windows install sources can be anywhere else (CD, network share, etc).

b. add a "RegionalSettings" section. Use this section to specify the Language

Groups and locales to install. Use the appropriate Language Group IDs and

Locale IDs (LCIDs). Ensure that the Language Groups you install are sufficient

to cover BOTH the locale settings and the User Interface languages you

are installing.

Example:

[RegionalSettings]

LanguageGroup="5","8","13"

Language="0401"

Of course, the answer file may also include other OS unattended setup options.

4. Run winnt32.exe with the appropriate options to use the answer file. If you

require the installation of East Asian language and locale support, you must

specify /copysource:lang or /rx:lang to copy the necessary language files.

If you do not, and the [RegionalSettings] section of your answer file contains

East Asian values, Setup will ignore everything in the [RegionalSettings] section.

For Winnt32.exe, the appropriate syntax is:

winnt32.exe /unattend:"path to answer file" /copysource:lang /s:"path to install source"
