Does anyone know how to determine the difference between the language
versions of windows XP?
I have 600 pc's with a mix of english and french licenses purchased and
there is a different media set for each. I am trying to figure out what is
different about the 2 installs.

any ideas?
 
Remote scripting will call the 'locale' of the system keyboard.
Sub test()
lKeyboardValue = 0
lResp = GetKeyboardLayout(lKeyboardValue)
lLangCode = LowWord(lResp)
Select Case lLangCode
Case 1033
strLang = "US - English"
Case 1036
strLang = "France - French"

Case Else
strLang = "Not listed"
End Select
MsgBox "The Keyboard language is: " & lLangCode & ": " & strLang
End Sub

Code that contains text - menus, dialogs etc - is localised in the
language of the version. And there may be other differences in code to
match the language. The versions are not interchangeable or mixable on
the same machine (other than by a dual boot installation in separate
partitions)
