Hi,

I've spent countless hours fine tuning my language and locale settings in my Unattended CD. I'm 100% happy with the results.

Now I port my CD to RIS, modify the ristndrd.sif file with the settings from my Unattended CD (winnt.sif) and BANG! All my language settings are gone into oblivion.

I'm installating from a Localized French CD Version of WinXP SP2. Basically I need the French Canadian settings instead of the French France settings.

Anyone has any idea why RIS is screwing up my settings?

Here's my ristndrd.sif

I know this thread is pretty old, but maybe you are still waiting... I seriously doubt, but anyway...

The only thing I see, is that you have one more line I don't have. Mine is working with RIS.

So remove your line and try

Yes this is the correct answer. The unattended reference (ref.chm) indicates that if using Language the other options are ignored. Just thought I'd clarify for other readers.
