I thought it needed the automatic updates switch?

and the language group should be right b/c I'm including some asian languages since some of the sites I check have characters like that so I want them to display properly

Have you or anyone else figured out how to automatically install support for reading say Japanese characters? I asked about it in another thread but never got a response.

To my understanding (and I am a noob to this so I could be dead wrong) but the languagegroup setting tells it which language packs to install.... so mine is english, chinese, japanese, etc and theoretically I should be able to go to one of those sites and not need to install the language pack... but I could be wrong...

and no one has any tips or even places to look about the install file I'm using? I can accept needing to do the update page but I would like to have the rest of it be automated... then at least it's just one thing I need to do and then still have all my programs installed...

Actually you're quite right. I just did a test and it worked. All you need is:

[RegionalSettings]
    LanguageGroup=7

This installs support for Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

well thanks for the help everyone... seems to be working now and I think I've figured out the problem with my install file...

so does anyone have any tips on how to clean it up or tools I can look into? I keep reading about xplode... is it something I should look into or is it meant for more advanced stuff than I'm doing...
