Unattended MUI install


Recommended Posts

Basically what I want is to integrate MUI into WinXP image. AFAIK it is done using MUISETUP.exe but in my MUI download (Windows XP Embedded with SP1 Language Packs) there's no such file present. Maybe I've got the wrong download or there's another way of integrating MUI ? Please help.

I dont know if this is enough , cause the total package is 1.02gb

But i atached the exe file for you.

=========================================================================
5.0 INSTALLING MUI PACK IN UNATTEND MODE
=========================================================================

The following steps explain how to install the Windows MUI Pack in unattend mode.

1. Copy all the MUI files from MUI CDs into a temporary directory on a
network share, such as $OEM$\MUIINST.

In this example, we use a server \\MUICORE. The directory for the MUI CD
contents will be \\MUICORE\UNATTEND\$OEM$\MUIINST.

2. Add a "Cmdlines.txt" file in \\muicore\UNATTEND\$OEM$ that includes
the following lines:

[Commands]
"muiinst\muisetup.exe [/i LangID1 LangID2 ...] [/d LangID] /r /s"

Note that you must specify " " in your cmdlines.txt file. Use the
appropriate Language ID (LANGID)s, and the muisetup command line
parameters to ensure a quiet installation. Please check muisetup.hlp
for a complete description of all the command line parameters for
muisetup.exe (the command line help content is under "related topics"
in the help.).

3. Create an answer file (mui.txt):

a. add the following entries in the "Unattended" section

[Unattended]
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemFilesPath=\\muicore\unattend
OemSkipEula=YES

"OemFilesPath" must point to a network share or drive containing the
MUI install source stored in the above directory structure.

The Windows install sources can be anywhere else (CD, network share, etc).

b. add a "RegionalSettings" section. Use this section to specify the Language
Groups and locales to install. Use the appropriate Language Group IDs and
Locale IDs (LCIDs). Ensure that the Language Groups you install are sufficient
to cover BOTH the locale settings and the User Interface languages you
are installing.

Example:
[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup="5","8","13"
Language="0401"

Of course, the answer file may also include other OS unattended setup options.

4. Run winnt32.exe with the appropriate options to use the answer file. If you
require the installation of East Asian language and locale support, you must
specify /copysource:lang or /rx:lang to copy the necessary language files.
If you do not, and the [RegionalSettings] section of your answer file contains
East Asian values, Setup will ignore everything in the [RegionalSettings] section.

For Winnt32.exe, the appropriate syntax is:
winnt32.exe /unattend:"path to answer file" /copysource:lang /s:"path to install source"

You can't buy them or download them from Microsoft. If you have access to MS Select or Technet, you should find them in there.

The ones that can be downloaded are the MUI for Internet Explorer, Media Player, DRM, MSN 5.0 and possibly a few more. I install all these plus the MUI for Office and Windows through a single .bat file. You don't need the entire package if you are only looking for installing 1 or 2 additional languages ontop of your English based install.

hope that helps a bit.
