I am having problems with the default input language setting.. i am trying to set it up as Australia... but it keeps coming up as United States

can anyone please help

this is in my winnt.sif file

[RegionalSettings]

InputLocale=0c09:00000409

InputLocale_DefaultUser=0c09:00000409

LanguageGroup=13,17,3,2,5,16,4,12,15,7,8,10,11,9,6,14,1

SystemLocale=0c09

UserLocale=0c09

UserLocale_DefaultUser=0c09

any idea's or help guy's

Thanx in advance

Can't help you with Australian but maybe my settings will give you a thought. I use Russian as system language on English version of w2k and there are Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional - looks difficult, isn't it?

[RegionalSettings]
    InputLocale=0409:00000409,0419:00000419,0804:e00e0804
    LanguageGroup=5,10,1,9
    SystemLocale=00000419
    UserLocale=00000419

In this example Russian (00000419) set as SystemLocale. So maybe you need to find out the code for Australian and make it SystemLocale (the code should be different from US English as they are different for Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional).

Just did a quick run through using setupmgr to the regional settings, I choose custom region settings as shown on attached:

the result on the sif:

[RegionalSettings]

LanguageGroup=1

SystemLocale=00000c09

UserLocale=00000c09

InputLocale=0c09:00000409

Not sure if this will work for you but you might wanna try it out.

thanx guy's

I have no problems with setting the rest of the language to Australia using 00000c09

but when it comes to default input language set by InputLocale=0c09:00000409

it still makes United states default.

HAve you browsed through ref.chm, links to another useful site on RegionalSettings, as this gives plenty of information and also this url may assist =>

Defining Language and Regional Settings in the Answer File

It does note about your timezone within GUIUnattended, which i guess you have set correctly.

Hope it helps

thank guy's

gone through all the diferent sites and set it as suggested, but still no luck.. it still setting it up as United States as default.

BUMP

I had the same problem and I am using this methode and it worked for me !!!

1 I add the .cmd file (I named it keyboard.cmd) in the \$OEM$\$1\install folder,the command should look like this:

Rundll32 shell32,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,/f:"c:\install\unattend.txt"

2. put the .txt file in the same dir as the keyboard.cmd (\$OEM$\$1\install ), in my case the file is named unattend.txt as shown above. You can use any other name but be sure to correct it the .cmd file too...

3. the unattend.txt should have these lines:

[RegionalSettings]

InputLocale="0424:00000424", "0424:00000424"

just change the 0424 part to be equal for Australian and that is it...

you can run the keyboard.cmd from cmdlines.txt so it will run at T12 point on windows setup or you carn run it via RunOnceEx....
