TITLE :Windows NT Automatic Setup: Language Version
PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT

KEYWORDS:kbhowto
======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51
- MSPRESS Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit, version 3.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
The Windows NT unattended installation sets English as the default language and
US as the default keyboard layout and country. It is possible to accomplish the
unattended installation of the local language by modifying the TXTSETUP.SIF,
DOSNET.INF, and HARDWARE.INF files, included in the \I386 directory on the
Windows NT compact disc.
MORE INFORMATION
================
WARNING: Modification of INF files can cause serious, system-wide problems
before and after Setup and may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct
them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
modification of INF files can be solved. Make INF modifications at your own
risk.
To perform an unattended setup, you use the WINNT /U:<answer_file> command,
where <answer_file> is the name of the unattended answer file (used to
answer questions that Setup asks). Localized language and keyboard layouts are
not specified in the answer file. The following steps describe how to accomplish
the unattended installation of the local language. The language codes are listed
in the Language Code Reference section below.
Step 1 - Copy Files
-------------------
Copy the \I386 directory from the Windows NT compact disc to a local share
directory. For example, if the CD-ROM drive is drive D: and the local share
directory is C:\SHARE, then type the following:
" XCOPY D:\I386 C:\SHARE " (without the quotation marks)
STEP 2 - Modify TXTSETUP.SIF
----------------------------
The local keyboard driver is specified in the [FILES] section and the local
keyboard layout is specified in the [NLS] section of TXTSETUP.SIF, located in
the share directory. For example, to specify the Swedish keyboard, add the
following line to the [FILES] section;
[FILES]
KBDSW.DLL = DX,DL, ,2,0,0
To select the Swedish keyboard, replace the US keyboard code in the [NLS] section
with Swedish keyboard code, as follows:
[NLS]
DEFAULT LAYOUT = 0000041D
STEP 3 - Modify DOSNET.INF
--------------------------
The Local keyboard driver is specified in the [FloppyFiles.1] section of
DOSNET.INF located in the share directory. Use the following format to specify
the keyboard driver, using the Swedish keyboard as an example:
[FloppyFiles.1]
d1, kbdsw.dll
STEP 4 - Modify HARDWARE.INF
----------------------------
The local language and country code should be specified as the default in the
[LanguageVars] section of HARDWARE.INF, located in the share directory:
For Swedish:
[LanguageVars]
:
LanguageSystemSet = "0000041d"
LanguageDefault = "0000041d"
For unattended setup to use the above variables, make the following
change to [ConfigureHardwareOptions] section of HARDWARE.INF:
[ConfigureHardwareOptions]
:
:
EndForListDo
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Add a next line ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
set !STF_LANGUAGE_HACK = YES
ifstr(i) $(!STF_LANGUAGE_HACK) == "YES"
read-syms LanguageVars
;
STEP 5: Run WINNT/U
-------------------
The files are now ready for you to run the unattended setup. At the command
prompt, type:
" winnt /u:<answer_file> " (without the quotation marks)
where <answer_file> is the name of the file containing the responses for
the unattended setup process.
For more information on unattended setup, refer to Volume 1, Chapter 3,
"Customizing Windows NT Setup" of the Windows NT Resource Guide.
