Koldov Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Hi All, Trying to use WSIM to create an unattended install. Does anyone have the exact properties I need to insert for English UK? x86_Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE__neutral INPUT LOCALE SYSTEM LOCALE SETUP UI properties UI LANGUAGE Do I need to put these anywhere else? Also another question, my MAK Serial Key says it's invalid, where should I put this in the answer file? Thanks, Kol.
fiza Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Ive not put any details in the unattend file. I put all my locale settings in the custom settings.ini file in the Deployment share. Seems to work. SkipLocalSelection=YES KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809 UserLocale=en-GB UILanguage=en-GB
ChrisH Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 This is from my MDT customsettings.ini but I would imagine the values are the same SkipLocaleSelection=YES KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809 UserLocale=en-GB UILanguage=en-GB SkipTimeZone=YES TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time
free780 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 SkipLocaleSelection=YES KeyboardLocale=0809:00000809 UserLocale=What! UILanguage=en-GB SkipTimeZone=YES TimeZoneName=GMT Standard Time Do they speak english in What?
Koldov Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 OK, it seems that the settings were taking place after the actual install... Once it enters OOBE, English-UK is already selected. But it's the initial install dialogue where it falters, after reading the answer file it stops and pops up a GUI asking for input languages and keyboard layout. I'm sure I put EN-GB in the PE part of the answer file though. There is a section where it says shows GUI 'on error' maybe if I untick that? It didn't say there were any actual errors on the answer file validation... Kol.

Koldov Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 Ok I'll test some more, it's not a problem in itself as it does go to UK after the OOBE. It's just that it comes up with a choice screen requiring me to click it and I was under the impression I was creating an unattended setup answer file! Kol.
Koldov Posted April 4, 2014 Author Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) the install screens cant us en-gb as a location iirc has to be us in the top of the 3 boxes This... Thank you! This also (almost) matches up with something I just Goooogled! Not location, but UI - it set me off in the right direction anyhow! On watch point though -don't change the UILanguage from en-US. In my testing, Windows setup doesn't appear to like this setting being changed, and results in all your locale and language settings being ignored. From here: Windows7 -Untangling Scripted Installs, Sysprep and Configuration Passes | Symantec Connect Community Interesting read for the uninitiated... Kol. Edited April 4, 2014 by Koldov

MS couldn't be bothered with en-gb for the winpe environment. When MDT went to version 2012 it no longer uses windows setup as its slower than dism applying the image.
