tiwas Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi all,I've come to the point where there's only one major thing wrong with my DVD. I'm installing an international english version of XP Pro, slipstreamed to SP2 and shrunk with nlite.The problem I've run into is that I cannot seem to get the keyboard language to change. The default input language is still "English (United States) - US" and the keyboard is listed as "US". They should both have been "Norwegian". The regional options are fine, after lots of testing...Anyone able to help me out here?Here's my winnt.sif;SetupMgrTag[Data] MsDosInitiated = "No" UnattendedInstall = Yes AutoPartition=0 AutomaticUpdates=yes[Unattended] OemPreinstall = "Yes" UnattendMode = FullUnattended UnattendSwitch = Yes OemSkipEula = Yes FileSystem = * WaitForReboot = No TargetPath = "\Windows" Hibernation = No OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\vmware" KeyboardLayout="Norwegian"; ComputerType="Standard PC",Retail[WindowsFirewall] Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall[WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode = 0[SystemFileProtection] SFCQuota = 0[GuiUnattended] AutoLogon = Yes AdminPassword=* TimeZone=110 OEMSkipRegional=1 OemSkipWelcome=1 EncryptedAdminPassword=NO[UserData] ProductKey=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx ComputerName=nada FullName="x" ProductID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx OrgName=""[Display] Xresolution=1280 Yresolution=1024 BitsPerPel=32[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000414 UserLocale=00000414 InputLocale=0414:00000414[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Components] Indexsrv_system=Off msmsgs=off msnexplr=off pinball=off spider=off[GuiRunOnce] "%systemdrive%\install\WPI.cmd"[Shell] CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\My Favorite Theme.theme"[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=Disasters[Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended=Yes[URL] Home_Page=http://www.msfn.org Search_Page=http://www.google.com[Proxy] Proxy_Enable=0 Use_Same_Proxy=0Any help would be appreciated!

supertoast Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yeah, I found that there is allways one left to change so I added this reg key using cmdlines.txt to sort it out for MY language...;Set to UK Region[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International\Geo]"Nation"="242"Have a look at this key in regedit to see what yours is when you select Norw.Hope this helps.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agonified Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 You should not remove all languages during nLite. I dont have nLite installed but I remember that there was a section that you remove some languages. If you dont delete the language or language groups that contains your keyboard definitions, you will be able to switch them in windows without any problem.

tiwas Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thanks to both of you @agonified: I obviously didn't remove the languages I need, but - good thinking! I prolly wouldn't have thought of that one in case someone unintentionally messed up, and it's a good reminder that we all can from time to time @supertoast: I will definitely try that one! Thanks Besides...I may have found part of the problem. Seems most people with this exact problem are running VMware. Hopefully it's nothing stupid as that, but you never know...

tiwas Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well, it didn't have anything to do with VMWare...just wasted two hours installing it on MS Virtual PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiwas Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Ok, then...For the record, as it seems a lot of people with non-english keyboards have struggled with this, it can be fixed through the default user. The keyboard layout will be retained in this (just copy the ntuser.dat from a user you've changed the way you want it and automagically copy it to the fresh install). That's a lot easier than banging your head against the wall trying all sorts of things that doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
