There must be at least 15 posts here asking how to do this, and yes, im gonna ask it as well!!

Im using nlite to create my XPcd SP2. Heres the specific section of my Winnt.sif:

[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemSkipEula=Yes
    OemPreinstall=yes
    TargetPath=\WINDOWS
    WaitForReboot=No
    UnattendSwitch=yes
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
    KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"
    Hibernation=No
    FactoryMode=Yes

[GuiUnattended]
    AdminPassword=**********
    EncryptedAdminPassword=no
    OEMSkipRegional=1
    TimeZone=85
    OemSkipWelcome=1


[RegionalSettings]
    LanguageGroup=1
    LanguageGroup=0809
    InputLocale_DefaultUser = 1033:0409
    stemLocale = 1033
    UserLocale = 1033
    UserLocale_DefaultUser = 1033

I've tryed entering the reg setting

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
"iCountry"="44"
"iCurrDigits"="2"
"iCurrency"="0"
"iDate"="1"
...etc
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Geo]
"Nation"="242"

...at T-12 and at first log on, the regional settings changed but NOT the keyboard layout. I dont particualy want the @ and " swapped thankyou

Has anybody sucsessfuly changed the US default keyboard to English during the unattended setup? and how the hell do you do it???

Try these settings, they've always worked for me!

Under [unattended]

   KeyboardLayout="United Kingdom"

Under [GuiUnattended]

   OEMSkipRegional=1
    TimeZone=85

And finally use this section

[RegionalSettings]
    LanguageGroup=1
    SystemLocale=00000809
    UserLocale=00000809
    InputLocale=0809:00000809

....Didnt work?

Can the TXTSETUP.SIF be edited to reflect the type of keyboard needed as nothing in the WINNT.SIF or in any REG tweek I've seen seems to work?

How about posting your entire winnt.sif file, from the latest attempt, (with password and product key removed)

The settings I gave you came directly from using the setup manager and have worked for me on several PCs.

Here you go but i cant see anything worng with it. Under the WINNT.sif i,ve pasted the reg tweek i include to back up the settings in the WINNT.sif. These dont work either

WINNT.SIF

Look at me with my big red face !!!

For some reason whilst testing my XPcd in VMware NO regional settings or keyboard layouts took effect, but after burning it to CD and testing it on my spare hard drive they did?

Somewhere theres a lesson to be learnt here, but i cant find it
