SYMPTOMS
When you are performing an unattended Setup, Setup may stop at the Regional Settings page and wait for user input. If you click Next, Setup continues installing in unattended mode.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if the unattended Setup answer file has the following parameter set:

[Unattended]

.

.

OemPreinstall = yes

.

This behavior occurs so that users can select the appropriate regional settings on computers that have Windows 2000 preinstalled by the manufacturer.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Setting the regional settings to something other than the default requires that the Lang folder be copied from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM to the local computer's hard disk. This also requires the use of the "OemPreinstall = Yes" line in the answer file because the file is in the $Oem$ folder.

If your deployment requires the "OemPreinstall = yes" line and you want to skip regional settings, add the following line to the [GuiUnattended] section of the answer file:

OemSkipRegional=1
