Sorry for this off-topic question, but hopefully it’ll be easy for somebody:
I have a customer that will be using our application in France, and
therefore will be running a French version of Win2K. In the meantime
however, (and for support reasons), I’d like the computer to be able to run
either in English or French. Install both languages - so far so good.
The PC came with Win2k SP1 (English/US) pre-installed. I’d like to upgrade
it to SP2, but which version of SP2 should I install? The U.S. version, or
the French version? (or both??)
Thanks,
Bill Christie, Software Engineer

Wrong. Any NT version had the same Unicode support as w2k.

If you have English Windows 2000 install English SP. I’m not sure but I
think that if you try to install any other SP you’re gonna get a message
like “This update will not install on this version of Windows” or something.

> http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnnews/2001/july/XPInternat/XPInternat.asp. The ability to
release a single set of binaries for all languages is not present in NT.
Some MSIE components (and especially some auto-downloadable OCXes and plugins for it) were such in NT IIRC.
On my machine with US English w2k and Cyrillic locale in system settings, the US English MSIE shows some Russian dialogs.
So, the binary of this MSIE component is a single binary for all languages.
Windows Installer is another such thing.
Unicode support in APIs was there since NT 3.1. Dunno if NT4’s USER would select you the menu or dialog template resource based on
your OS locale - but looks like so.
