[Libosinfo] [PATCH v4 11/12] win8.1: Re-enable unattended installation

[Zeeshan Ali (Khattak)]

Hi Fabiano,

So the problem I had when I tried unattended installation with Windows
8.1 (more than an year ago) was that installer script was being
completely ignored (or so it seemed). This is the reason I suspected
that I might need to change the installation method from floppy to USB
stick or something. While trying your patches, I bumped into the issue
again and seems it's to do with locale. If I use the en-US (which are
just prefixed as "en-") ISOs, installer works fine but if I use en-GB
ISOs, the installer drops me to the first step (to choose locale) but
works without prompting from there on.

FWIW, I tried with LANG=en_US.utf8 but that did not work either.
Further investigation is required but I suspect that our locale
mapping might not be valid for Windows 8.1.
