Hi Guys,

Could you please give me some XML examples that customize the date format and Language.

Basically I want to have it like this after Windows is finished installing:







Thanks,
McoreD

From ISO 3166-1 : http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_nam...d_code_elements

This should cover Location and Language:

CODE
<InputLocale>en-AU</InputLocale>
<SystemLocale>en-AU</SystemLocale>
<UILanguage>en-AU</UILanguage>
<UserLocale>en-AU</UserLocale>

I have also tried that in all available passes however always defaults to en-US?
Hope you track that one down.

I have this for uk

CODE
    <settings pass="windowsPE">
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core-WinPE" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <SetupUILanguage>
                <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
            </SetupUILanguage>
            <InputLocale>0809:00000809</InputLocale>
            <SystemLocale>en-UK</SystemLocale>
            <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
            <UserLocale>en-UK</UserLocale>
        </component>

Thanks. After a bit more googling I found the Input Locale for AU. I don't know if <InputLocale>0c09:00000409</InputLocale> is the same as <InputLocale>en-AU</InputLocale>, anyways:

CODE
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <InputLocale>0c09:00000409</InputLocale>
            <SystemLocale>en-AU</SystemLocale>
            <UILanguage>en-AU</UILanguage>
            <UILanguageFallback>en-US</UILanguageFallback>
            <UserLocale>en-AU</UserLocale>
        </component>


How to customize Date and Time format is still undetermined. Anybody have a clue?

For Inout locale i had to use <InputLocale>0001042f</InputLocale> because <InputLocale>es-ES</InputLocale> or even <InputLocale>es-MX</InputLocale> never worked for me since Vista came out.

For the other regional settings maybe you can use registry tweaks or read the WAIK docs. I remember seeing some info there but i'm not sure as to what extent you can modify date and time formats.

I do agree something that was not overcome since Vistas inception I'm now to believe. Like McoreD I have used every combination available in the passes to get the Au to work. Always falls back to en-US.

Maybe trying to not set the fallback language to <UILanguageFallback>en-US</UILanguageFallback> gets yours to work.

Just leave it empty in WAIK or delete in the XML file.

My input works even in Windows 7 XML file, but I'm trying to set the TAPI settings from the XML file but I get an error that they can't be set and the installation aborts.

Everything went fine for last night's install:

CODE
        <component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
            <InputLocale>0c09:00000409</InputLocale>
            <SystemLocale>en-AU</SystemLocale>
            <UILanguage>en-AU</UILanguage>
            <UILanguageFallback>en-US</UILanguageFallback>
            <UserLocale>en-AU</UserLocale>
        </component>


except the Date Formats.

These, I still have to do manually:

yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ss

Are there any Autounattend.xml settings for these? I went through the WAIK's Help file but didn't see anything. So I guess there can be a registry hack for it.

Thanks for the InputLocale smile.gif
