slipstream MUI in windows?

[skydancer]

I was just wondering if it is possible. I use for example Slovenian Language for Windows XP, and after install I must run this MUI to add slovenian language. Is it possible to integrate it in the install process?

Thank you

Hi skydancer, welcome to MSFN.

Yes, quite possible.

Try finding out what switches it uses (in command prompt, run the setup EXE for MUI with "/?" switch to get a listing).

Or, if its an MSI installer, just putting the MUI folder on your XPCD, and installing it with "/QB" switch should be enough.

Do tell us on how it goes.

Execuse me! I know that an MUI can only be installed using /QR if it's a MSI. This is because MUIs have upgrade information.

@skydancer

For sorry, so far I haven't seen it slipstreamed in Windows. You have to install your MUI separately as you usually do.

I hope someone could do it.

so, if I understand correctly, I put this MUI install on CD and "tell" the windows setup to run this program after windowsxp installation is completed? (using nlite is out of the question?)

Sorry, but I am quite new at this. But I'll try to catch up fast .)

Thank you for the fast anwser

ok. so fare I have figured out, if I run muisetup /i0424 /r /s , the installation start auto. for the slovenian language and I does not ask the user any question. I think this will be ok for now...just one question. I would like for winxp to autoreboot when muisetup is done. if i remove /r switch it does notify the user to reboot, but I would like to reset the pc by itself once the setup is done. Possible?

oh, and if i run /qb or /qr switch, the setup does not begin?!?

You haven't said if it's a MSI or not. If it is, use REBOOT=Force

MUI's are .msi, i think. i also think you can slipstream it with /qb. i'll test it when the german / english mui's for SP2 r out.
