Hi,

is there a way to get the language of Win2k or Win2k3 within a script
via prompt-command or tool?

Thank you for this hint.
I only see a problem - you can install the english version of Win2k
(e.g. ntoskrnl.exe and explorer.exe has language version English).
But I can set it to different country settings and then it would report
spanish for instance although I have an english Win2k version.

Best Regards
