Visual Studio.Net American version on a French machine.

[jose.relland]

Hello,

I am a new user of Visual Studio.Net (and VB)

I would like to use the 60-days limited free version.

Is it possible to download the American version (and use
American writting menu) on my machine which settings are
in French (keyboard, time, ...) ?

The sixty day trial version of Visual Studio is six CDs including MSDN.
Downloading will be a bear.

VS.Net doesn't exist for that much languages so many people are forced to
use the english version if they want it or not. I'm using the english
version with dutch (belgium) keyboard, time, ... settings and everything
seems to work fine.

Depends on your connection. As I student I could get it a low rate if I
downloaded it. 3 hours for the 6 CD's isn't that much if you ask me.

Sure. You regional settings are of no consequence whatsoever, the only thing
that could really affect it would be your OS language. And the only reason
that is ever an issue is codepages. Because VS.NET runs only on NT derived
OSs (NT/2000/XP/2003), which use unicode internally, codepages are not a
problem.

So you should be fine.

(Besides, even if it were an issue, doesn't French use codepage 1252, just
like English? If so, you would've been fine anyway.)
