Howto configure RIS (on Win2003) to deploy Windows XP MUI?

[Egil Hansen]

Hi

I've seen a few howto's on this for Windows 2000, but I'm not sure how
to make this happen on Windows XP.

I have a RIS server on Windows 2003, and I need to deploy Windows XP
with either English+Danish, English+Swedish, English+France and so on
(we have around 8 combinations).

I assume I have to make a answer file for each option, and set the
regional settings for each. But where do I put the MUI files.

At the moment, I've simply copied the content I need of the 6 WinXP MUI
cd's (e.g. the installation files, plus the language folders - e.g.
DA.MUI, FR.MUI and so on).

I found this how to -
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/rissetup.mspx -
which points me to this knowledge base article Q241063 -
http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q241/0/63.ASP&NoWebContent=1
- but that only seem to apply to the Windows 2000 family. It talks about
copying the content of the I386\Lang from the Win2k CD, but since that
folder only seems to contain files on my WinXP cd, I'm not sure how to
proceed.

Also, I've read a few places I should look out for language groups and
compatibility issues. I'm not sure if I'll be affected by this, since
I'll only be using European languages (Danish, Swedish, English, German,
France, Dutch, Norwegian).

Thanks and best regards, Egil.
