noonereallycares Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Is there any way of stopping the US language from installing, that doesn't involve the use of nLite?I have successed in having XP install English (Australian), yet the US language remains.Am I missing something? Does M$ assume that we all want to speak the US form of the language, but don't know it yet?[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=1 SystemLocale=00000c09 UserLocale=00000c09 InputLocale=0c09:00000409From what I can tell, the InputLocale settings requires the 409 option to tell it to use a US keyboard layout, but I may be wrong.Any tips would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Bezalel Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) The primary language of the CD will always be installed from txtsetup.sif before the GUI mode setup wizard. Unless you have a localized CD or changed the language in txtsetup.sif the primary language will be US English.

chiners_68 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) I have the anser to this as i had the same problem when installng UK English US still remained as secondary option.i got some pointers from this forum & after some investigation myself I found a fix.Basicallyyou need to remove a reg key from the default user profile during installation.here is full details.in a cmdlines.txt file I have got :-[COMMANDS]"regedit /s keyboard.reg"this file sits in the $OEM$ directory.Also in this directory on my XP CD I have the reg file keyboard.reg this contains the string to delete.REGEDIT4[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload] "2"=-Basically at 12 mins to go on the install the cmdlines.txt is passed (run) this links to my reg file which removes the key to get rid of US. Anyuser that logs on after the install will be US keyboard free. Yipppeee.I hope this helps. Edited December 15, 2005 by chiners_68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
