Windows Version Language

[bumbala]

Hi!

How can I get the language version of Windows installed? (not the locale)

Thanks...

check the API docs; I'm sure there's an API call for this, but I can't remember what it is

you might find that from registry...

Cheers...

Private Const LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT = &H400
Private Const LOCALE_SNATIVELANGNAME = &H4
 
Private Declare Function GetLocaleInfo Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetLocaleInfoA" (ByVal Locale As Long, ByVal LCType As Long, ByVal lpLCData As String, ByVal cchData As Long) As Long
 
Private Function GetInfo(ByVal lInfo As Long) As String
    Dim Buffer As String, Ret As String
    Buffer = String$(256, 0)
    Ret = GetLocaleInfo(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, lInfo, Buffer, Len(Buffer))
    If Ret > 0 Then
        GetInfo = Left$(Buffer, Ret - 1)
    Else
        GetInfo = ""
    End If
End Function
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox GetInfo(LOCALE_SNATIVELANGNAME)
End Sub

I tried this. This returns the locale info which I do not want. It returns the language selected in the Regional Settings, therefore, it changes. I want the true installation language version of Windows.
