Unattended RegionalSettings installs english keyb

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,
