For the MUI Pack, you must specify certain options to run Winnt32.exe. You cannot run Winnt.exe. For more information about specifying options for the MUI Pack, see Special Considerations for Installing the Windows XP Professional MUI Pack later in this chapter.

For unattended installations of Windows XP Professional, you can customize the following sections of the answer file to address specific language and other regional needs:

[RegionalSettings] [GuiUnattended] [TapiLocation]

If you are creating an answer file for a localized language version of Windows XP Professional other than International English, create the answer file using that localized language version. Otherwise, change the language for non-Unicode programs to that of the localized language version, and save the answer file as ANSI text using the appropriate text encoding method for the language version that you are installing. For example, if you are creating an answer file to install the Russian localized language version on a desktop, use the Russian localized language version of Windows XP Professional to create the answer file. Otherwise, change the language for non-Unicode programs to Russian and use the Cyrillic OEM code page to author the answer file.

Specifying [RegionalSettings] options The [RegionalSettings] section of the answer file specifies multilingual and international settings such as the language collections installed, the input languages installed, and the language for non-Unicode programs. All the [RegionalSettings] values can be specified in either Unattend.txt or Sysprep.inf. Warning Any [RegionalSettings] values specified in Sysprep.inf will override any values set in Unattend.txt. In addition, if you use Sysprep, all the appropriate additional language files specified must already be installed on the computer.

The following shows the correct syntax for the [RegionalSettings] section:

[RegionalSettings] Language="locale ID" LanguageGroup="language group ID","language group ID" [, ...] SystemLocale="locale ID" UserLocale="locale ID" InputLocale="locale ID:keyboard layout ID", "locale ID:keyboard layout ID", UserLocale_DefaultUser="locale ID InputLocale_DefaultUser="locale ID:keyboard layout ID",

The Windows XP Professional MUI Pack requires additional considerations to ensure consistency among language settings for unattended installations. For more information about creating unattended installations of the MUI Pack, see Special Considerations for Installing the Windows XP Professional MUI Pack later in this chapter.

Table 3-6 describes the [RegionalSettings] keys and identifies the corresponding settings in the Regional and Language Options Control Panel. For a complete listing of valid values for these keys, see the Locales and Language link on the Web Resources page at http:// www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources.

Usage Specifies the language installed. If this key is specified, the SystemLocale, UserLocale, and Input Locale keys are ignored. Specifies the language groups installed on the computer. Installing one language group also installs support for all other language groups in the same language collection. For example, if you install the Korean language group (8), Windows XP Professional installs support for all other language groups in the East Asian Language Collection (for example, Japanese (7), Traditional Chinese (9), and Simplified Chinese (10)). For a list of the language groups installed under each language collection, see Built-In Language Support earlier in this chapter. Enables non-Unicode applications to run and display menus and dialog boxes in the localized language. Controls settings for sorting numbers, time, currency, and dates.
