in my application I want to use data from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
I'm afraid it will not work in for example the Chinese/Japenese-language version of Windows. Are these values always in English? I am talking about following keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion > ProductName
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion > EditionID
Can someone with access to such systems check it for me? Thank in advance.
I don't believe these values are translated. However, don't use the registry to retrieve product version information. Use the APIs that provide this information.
