Edit to enable: Install files for complex script...

[shiner]

I didn't know which sub-forum to post this so I am putting it here. Moderator feel free to move it if there is a better place.

Can someone point me to a proper way to enable "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai)", in Regional and Language Options under Supplemental language support. This is for an XPSP3 install CD.
Currently I have to check this box post-install, but I would like to have this enabled during setup.

Unless you're using it already and it doesn't work work like I think it does, I believe what you want is "LanguageGroup" under [RegionalSettings] in WinNT.sif. What follows is the relevant information about it copied from Ref.chm found in Deploy.cab from my XP x86 SP3 Pro CD. I changed the example to something that may enable those settings by default.

Code: Select all

LanguageGroup

Specifies the language group for this installation.

Syntax   | LanguageGroup = language_group_ID[, language_group_ID[, ...]]
         |
Values   | language_group_ID[, language_group_ID[, ...]]
         |
Example  | LanguageGroup = 11,1
         |
Comments | You cannot specify a particular locale or language unless you
         | install the appropriate language group.
         |
         | In Windows XP, if you install one language group, then you
         | install all corresponding language groups. For example, if you
         | install one language group from the set of East Asian language
         | groups, then you also install associated language groups.
         | Likewise, if you install one language group from the set of
         | complex script language groups, then you install all complex
         | script language groups.
         |
         | The supported language group IDs are listed in the following
         | table.
         |
         |                                       Corresponding Value in
         |                                       Regional and Language
         | ID  Language Group                    Options Control Panel

         |  2  Central Europe                    Installed by Default

Thanks 5eraph,

I will give that a go and report back.

I made that change to winnt.sif and it did what I asked for.
Thanks again for that quick response.
