Automatically installing the Supplemental language

[Vel Straty]

Hello users of the MSFN forum

I've searched in this forum and other places but with no luck so I would like to post my question that has my head aching for days.

I currently am having trouble installing the "Supplemental language support" by using winnt.sif. For those of you that don't know about it, you can see it by going through the following Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages -> Supplemental language support.

I'm using WinXP Pro English and want to use the "East Asian languages" known as Japanese, Korean, e.t.c..

So far no luck when installing it via the Winnt.sif but it installs ok from after the WinXP installation.

Here's my winnt.sif file that has the regional parameters.

[TapiLocation]
    CountryCode=81
    Dialing=Tone

[RegionalSettings]
    LanguageGroup=7
    SystemLocale=00000411
    UserLocale=00000411
    InputLocale=0411:e0010411

By the way,

CountryCode=81 -> Japan

LanguageGroup=7 -> Japan

SystemLocale=00000411 -> Japanese

and so forth.

Some one please give me your expertise!

Anyone know of a way to do it?

I'm using the English WinXP and just want to install the East Asian languages using the unattended install.

I think this guide can be adapted to your language.

hey, all ..

after quite some time,

finally i got the complete setup for xp to be hebrew enabled ..

the setupmgr is useless and so does most of the help u'll find on the net ..

(i've been digging daysssss)

i hope this will be helpful -

winnt.sif settings :

[RegionalSettings]

    LanguageGroup=12,1

    SystemLocale=0000040d

    UserLocale=0000040d

    InputLocale=0409:00000409,040d:0000040d

and some regtweaks :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]"iCountry"="972"

"iCurrDigits"="2"

"iCurrency"="2"

"iDate"="1"

"iDigits"="2"

"iLZero"="0"

"iMeasure"="0"

"iNegCurr"="2"

"iTime"="1"

"iTLZero"="1"

"Locale"="0000040D"

"s1159"="AM"

"s2359"="PM"

"sNegativeSign"="-"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Geo]

"Nation"="117"

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-789336058-1004336348-725345543-500\Keyboard Layout\Preload]

"1"="00000409"

"2"="0000040d"

thats all, have fun ..

Well, this method didn't work somehow. I wonder what the winnt.sif or something during the setup needs.

I hope someonw can assist me in to doing this.

Thank you in advance
