usin this command
rundll32.exe shell32,Control_RunDLL intl.cpl,,/f:"c:\local.txt"
local.txt
[RegionalSettings]
LanguageGroup=1
InputLocale = 0c0c:00001009

my problem is, i want to install french canada (canadian french keyboard) only , but every time i run the batch it installs french canada (canadian french keyboard) and english canada (canadian french keyboard) as default.

my goal is to run this command and get french canada (canadian french keyboard) installed as default.

Get the layout you want from another computer , or manually create one from scratch.

Then just make a .msi file and install..You can also override default layouts etc..Otherwise you would have to fiddle with registry (localkey //control set//keyboard layouts)..Much simpler that way.

cheers.
