determine localized version

[Larsi]

Hi

Does anybody know how to determine which version of W2K or NT4 is installed
on a computer?
The only way I found (workaround) is to check for the 'Program Files'-
directory. If its name is written in english it's english version
installed, if its name is written in german ("Programme") it's german
version installed, aso aso...
But I'd like to find a better and more reliable method to get out if it's a
french, spanish or else installation.

Any help appreciated.
Thanx in advance!

Check the Properties>Version>Language information of one of the
system files, e.g. C:\WINNT\system32\kernel32.dll
As far as I can see the US Englisch version reports "English
(United States)", a Dutch version of Windows "Nederlands
(Nederland)".
