Could you help me?

I've attatched a small program (it's only 5kb). I need to know if it works on all windows - French/German/Chinese etc.

It should give DirectX version (4.09.00.0904 for DirectX 9c)

Don't all you need is a different language pack and keyboard layout?

@ Lukas W

I been here a while (over 3 years). TGC has my home address on record. Its a very simple prog written in PureBasic. Here is the source code:




All it does is read a registry entry in direct x version. I just need to know if the string "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX" works on non-english systems.

Incase anyone is still scared to run this and something I might say might ease your mind. I analyzed the file (I've done side av work in the past) and it contains no viral code.

Flashing Blade, what's the reason for the ExitProcess call in your main routine when after you're done displaying the message box and destroying the heap you created you already exit the process there?

@ LukasW & Math89
Thankyou very much. Have a beer each

@ Torrey

Sorry I assume you talking clever low level stuff here. Blame PureBasic for the actual machine code.
Have a beer too

Thankyou all.
