I feel angry...
I\'m doing unattended Win2K installs since some times but I\'ve always had the following problem :
when asking French input locale, it will always add me english too.
French is default, but english is also installed.
I have to choose Remove to avoid keeping both, and then I ask it to don\'t show as I never have to change the input locale.
In fact I do this through a reg file, but it would be better if it was done automatically at install time !
I think the problem comes from here : extract from Intl.inf from I386 :
0000080c = %French_Belgian% ,850 ,1,,080c:0000080c,0409:00000409
(same information from Microsoft site, don\'t remember where) : it puts both 080c (French belgian) and 0409 (english us) together !
So I suppose there are no solutions for this problem, but I don\'t understand why Microsoft did this that way !
Why would the people that use french keyboards suddently need to use english ones ?
Tried on Win2K Pro, Server, with or without SP2 slipstreamed, unattend from CD Boot (btw, thanks for the very good job on other posts - much help from there).
All US versions.
Extract from WinNT.sif below :
[RegionalSettings]
; Language=080c
LanguageGroup=1
InputLocale=080c:0000080c
SystemLocale=080c
UserLocale=080c
Thanks for reading.
See you,
Olivier
