Multi Language Unattended - Strange problem...

[Dj-Throll]

Hello.

I am currently building an unattended solution for installing Multilanguage Windows XP.

I have created the shares, and put all the files in the right place.

This is what happens.

I start the installation running from WinPE - I configure the disks first.

My install string is as follows:

%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\i386\winnt32.exe /unattend:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Tools\unattended.txt /s:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\i386 /syspart:C: /tempdrive:C: /makelocalsource

My unattended file include these regional settings:

[RegionalSettings]

InputLocale=00000414:00000414

InputLocale_DefaultUser=00000414:00000414

Language=0414

LanguageGroup=1

SystemLocale=0414

UserLocale=0414

UserLocale_DefaultUser=0414

My cmdlines.txt includes this install string:

"MUIINST\muisetup.exe /i 0414 /d 0414 /r /s"

This installes and set the Norwegian language as default.

If I do this the regional settings defaults to English, with Norwegian language.

I can se the MUISetup run at T-12 minutes.

If I drop the MUISetup from cmdlines.txt, the reginal settings default to Norwegian, but the the language is English.

Do anyone know how I can make the regional setting defaults to Norwegian with Norwegian language ??

I need some help !!

Try removing the Language line from your unattended file. This was the only way I could get it to work for Japanese.

[RegionalSettings]
InputLocale=0411:e0010411,040c:e0010411
InputLocale_DefaultUser=0411:e0010411,040c:411,0409:0411
SystemLocale=00000411
UserLocale=00000411
LanguageGroup=7,1

I KNOW!

that MUI is supportet in WINNT.SIF

there are some strings/parameters for winnt.sif - i think they are un-documented

1-2 year's ago i found something on an old MSDN website..

sorry i don't have the link anymore... maybe you will find it out

Hello.

This is in the unattend.txt

[RegionalSettings]

LanguageGroup=1

The cmdlines.txt includes this:

[Commands]

"MUIINST\muisetup.exe /i 0414 /d 0414 /l /f /r /s"

This now installes the Norwegian language, but it defaults to English time, date and number format.

Hello.

I found a solution to this problem.

I will include the content og the files that I use.

cmdlines.txt

[Commands]

"RunEx.cmd"

"REGEDIT /S HKCU.reg"

RunEx.cmd

@echo off

cmdow /HID

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Windows XP Installation" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "MultiLanguage Pack..." /f

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\Software\MUIINST\muisetup.exe /i 0414 /d 0414 /l /r /s" /f

EXIT

HKCU.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Setting the Geographic Location

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Geo]

"Nation"="177"

This sets the Geographic location to Norway.

Edit this value to your current location, and it will work.

It works for me
