When run on a Spanish version of Windows XP my program invokes
LANGID langId = (LANGID) MAKELANGID( LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_DEFAULT );
LCID locale = MAKELCID( language, SORT_DEFAULT );
BOOL isValid = IsValidLocale( locale, LCID_INSTALLED );
IsValideLocale() return FALSE when asked about English locale. Obviously something must be tuned in Windows to change this behaviour. What exactly should I do?
I understand that it's not completely a programming question but rather a deployment question. Still I think it will be better off here than anywhere else.
