Consider the following scenario:

• You run the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep.exe) against a Windows Vista installation.
• You use the Oobe.xml file to customize the desktop wallpaper.
• You use an answer file to implement unattended settings. The unattended settings include specific language and locale settings.

In this scenario, the desktop wallpaper that is specified in the Oobe.xml file is not displayed.

Consider the following scenario:

• You use a Windows Vista product image that includes a ZH-HK or ZH-TW (Chinese Traditional) language pack to deploy Windows Vista.
• Or, you run the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Wizard to redeploy Windows Vista after you have installed a version of Windows Vista.

In this scenario, the English version of the Microsoft Software License Terms appears in the OOBE Wizard. You expect to see the Chinese Traditional version of the license terms.

Consider the following scenario:

• You try to deploy Windows Vista by using an Unattend.xml file that has an oobeSystem configuration pass.
• This oobeSystem configuration pass specifies as following:

  <Reseal>
      <ForceShutdownNow>true</ForceShutdownNow>
      <Mode>OOBE</Mode>
  </Reseal>

In this scenario, the unatted settings make the computer shut down as expected. However, every time that you restart the computer, the computer shuts down again.

After you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1, the regional settings that users make during the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) process may be overwritten by the defaults settings in the Oobe.xml file.

Consider the following scenario

• You purchase a computer that has Windows Vista preinstalled.
• You run the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) Wizard during the setup process for the first time.
• You restart the computer while the wizard is running.

In this scenario, you discover that certain customized information is lost after the OOBE Wizard has finished running.

You run the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Wizard in Windows Vista. When you press CTRL+SHIFT+F3 to try to enter audit mode, you receive the following error message:

Cannot finish installation. To install Windows on this computer, please reinstall.

Consider the following scenario:

• On a Windows Vista-based computer, you run the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Wizard.
• You configure the settings on the Country or region page of the wizard. These include the country settings, the language settings, and the keyboard settings.
• You return to the Country or region page from the Set Up Windows page.

  Note The Set Up Windows page is where you type a product key to activate Windows Vista.

In this scenario, the language settings and the keyboard settings are incorrect. These settings do not reflect the settings that you actually configured.

When installing Windows Vista using an unattended file, the computer name entered during OOBE is not used to join the domain.

You are deploying Windows Vista, and have specified the screen display resolution in the unattend.xml file. However, you may find that OOBE is not setting the display settings as specified in the file.

After you run the Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Wizard on a Windows Vista-based computer, and then you restart the computer for the first time, you may find that the wrong language is applied. For example, this problem may occur in the following scenario:

• The Serbian (SR-latn-cs) language pack is applied to a factory image of Windows Vista.
• Language packs for other languages are also applied to the same factory image of Windows Vista.
• A partially localized language pack is selected in the OOBE Wizard. For example, Ukrainian is selected, or a language other than Serbian is selected.

In this scenario, Windows Vista starts correctly, and the correct language is applied. However, after the computer is restarted, the wrong language is applied. For example, the Serbian language is applied as the default language after the computer is restarted.

Note: A partially localized language pack contains most of, but not all, the language resources for the user interface in Windows Vista. To provide a full user interface, a partially localized language pack depends on a base language pack. For example, Ukrainian is a partially localized language pack, and approximately 80 percent of the language resources in this language pack have been localized into Ukrainian. The remaining 20 percent of the language resources may be in either English or French. Both English and French are fully localized languages.
