Is it possible to create an multi language unattended cd/dvd where i can select at start of installation the preferred language.

I'm not an expert, but you can use Windows XP ENU version and apply MUI Language Pack (after installing windows ...)

@Gerrit.B

If you have several localized versions, you can create a multiboot DVD with a boot option for each version. That's the only way to begin the installation in the language of your choice.

If you have a MUI, you can use it for installing single or multiple non-English Windows interface languages. See muisetup.hlp for the switches. The easiest way would be to use a post-install utility like WPI, where you could specify several different command (switches) for the same muisetup.exe. I.e. you have English upon the first logon, install MUI (one or several languages), and get the GUI in the language of your choice after reboot.

You can have the interface in the desired language at the first logon. The muisetup.exe must be launched from cmdlines.txt. Again, you can install multiple languages, but you have to specify the default one. If you'd like the user to choose which interface language to use as default and and have this language at the first logon, a more sophisticated multiboot scheme is required. I'll omit the details for now, because it's really not worth the trouble.

thanx Vadikan

so how can I make an Arabic Interface uAXPSP2?

I have the MUI, but don't know the switches, I need an Arabic Interface from the very begining and without entering the Regional Settings to change from ENG to ARA

MUISETUP.exe /i 0401 /r /s

use this switch to install the arabic interface
