Hello community,

Although I have filled in all localization options, I am asked for the region and keyboard layout at the beginning of the installation.
What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

The same thing happened to me. I was trying to create new ISO with newest windows updates. I have to manage Windows 11 Enterprise IOT LTSC.
I started with the original Image obtained from Microsoft for our organization. Before a couple of months when we get the official version for our organization I have successfully managed to create an ISO with this modification and latest Cumulative update. Now after half year I lost my drive and I have to start from beggining. Sadly when I created the ISO and booted up new terminal for installation Localization options did not take effect.
 
Unattended mode has two sets of localization settings: one for WinPE, one for the installed Windows.

Configuring one set does not automatically define the other set. The reason is a person may be installing Windows for someone who doesn't share the same language. Scroll down and check if you have not entered the same settings for WindowPE.

Yes. If you don't want to be asked during WinPE (the first screen when you boot the ISO/USB).

I greatly appreciate your efforts for supporting such helpful software and love your work I have learned a lot thanks to you.
But I have a little problem. I was searching for solution and I saw this thread in the forum.
Last week I build up ISO as you recommended. Today i managed to test it. Both settings for localization are equal in Windows Setup and in WinPE, but it still continue to ask choose Region and keyboard layout at the beginning of the installation when I boot the ISO/USB. In the extra options in first attempt I marked "Copy to boot image" no result in the second attempt which I tested today I did not checked any of this option and again I have no result. I forgot to mention that in the unattended I have also filled OEM information like Manufacturer, Support hours and Support phone. I will attach pictures what are my settings.
Please help me, before a couple of months I have managed successfully to integrate all of the above mentioned settings. What I do wrong ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I use the old setup (option in NTLite) too, never tested with the new one (if that can have an impact)

I have tested, but there is no effect, the version of NTLite that I am using is 2025.3.10351
Unfortunately I am using free license version and I haven't got delegated budjet to buy the license. This is really sad and shameful for me because I really like NTLite tool it is much easier to understand and work with instead of Microsoft's tons of information that I have to go trough to barely do any of the goals that I have been tasked.
Thank you all for your spared time and efforts. If someone have something in mind as idea how can I solve this I will be very thankful to share it here.

Are you trying to use Bulgarian on an English (US) ISO? Did you add new languages to either the boot.wim or install.wim?
The language packs are entirely different for use in WinPE Setup, and for normal Windows.

If you need to download Language Packs for normal Windows, use this script:
PowerShell GUI for Downloading Language Packs - W10_11LangPack.ps1

WinPE has a separate set of Language Packs, which are available on the Windows ADK ISO, use this script:
PowerShell GUI for Downloading Windows ADK, WinPE, LP & FOD ISO's - W10_11ADK_WinPE_LP_FOD.ps1

No, I haven't added Bulgarian language pack niether to boot wim, nor to install wim. I use US ISO as base.
I would like to accomplish the following goals to automate windows setup installation and I do not want Windows setup to be in Bulgarian
-when ISO/USB is booted and setup starts, to be automatically choose region Bulgaria and add secondary keyboard Bulgarian (Traditional Phonetic) I would like to automate the windows setup and deployment after EULA and hard disk option.
- Also when installation is finished and windows desktop is shown I would like it has been set in Region settings Formats Format: Bulgarian (Bulgaria) and in Administrative tab under System Local - Bulgaria
- also I would like to set up OEM information like Manufacturer, Support hours and support phone which will be visible under Settings - System - About
If I understand you wright to accomplish all of this I need to integrate Bulgarian Language Pack.
The version of Windows that I am using is Windows 11 Enterprise IOT LTSC and together with the officially obtained Build for our company we recieved MultiLang OPK LangPackAllLIP LoF, and I should use it so I can accomplish the above goals.
I don't know how to say it but I am not a pro in this
Once again i would like to thank you all for your efforts and spared time to help me.
I will try to integrate this language pack that I have into both boot wim and install wim
 
Most of the OOBE steps can be skipped by using the Unattended mode. But that does not solve the problem that your install image is missing the Bulgarian language packs or resources.

1. Find the "LanguagesAndOptionalFeatures" folder on your 24H2 LSOF ISO, and copy the bg-BG CAB files to a single folder.

2. From NTLite's Updates screen, add this folder so all the language features can be applied to install.wim.

3. Adding languages to WinPE is optional. That only changes the display languages for the user who is running Setup, and does not change the actual install image. The LSOF ISO has those updates in the "Windows Preinstallation Environment" folder, grouped by locale.

4. Load boot.wim. Copy the individual lp.cab from the WinPE folder and add this update only to boot.wim. If you need multiple WinPE languages, then rename the lp.cab -> bg-BG.cab (so each has a different name).

5. Unattended mode can have as few or as many settings as you need. If you don't define a setting, WinPE or Windows install will stop and ask you for input before continuing. By filling out the WinPE and OOBE settings, you can skip those settings which are known.
