Hi Chris, I do not changed something in the language file detection, just a string was not read out ("Title" instead of "MainTitle")
So, it has to be something different.
I think the german language is displayed in your system, cause the default system language could not be detected correctly and the german language file is the last or first file in the file find loop cause it is the newest...
Actually the lang code is read from "HKCUSoftwarePENetwork" -> "LangCode".
I changed it in the 0.58 beta 1 to "HKCU", but for backwards compatibility it is also read from "HKLMSoftwarePENetwork", if nothing is found under "HKCU".
....
So this misbehaviour should start from v.58 on...
...
One thing I found is that there is a logical problem for user locale setting compare.
Can you please post what values are written under:
"HKCUControl PanelInternational" -> "Locale"
"HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlNlsLanguage" -> "Default"

Thanks and greets
Holger

[Edit]: Ok, found a problem like I thought, it was already in 0.56...will be fixed in next beta.

[ChrisR]

Hi Holger,

OK for HKCU and LangCode, Is there other keys that have changed from HKLM to HKCU ?

Glad you're found something for auto language, here is what I have for fr-FR

"HKCUControl PanelInternational","Locale",040c

"HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlNlsLanguage","",Not defined

"HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlNlsLanguage","Default",040c

"HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlNlsLocale","",040c

Maybe, pending next beta or final, I can do something like this (what do you think about)

If,%pScrollBox2%,Equal,Auto,RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,Tmp_SoftwarePENetwork,LangCode,""

==>

If,%pScrollBox2%,Equal,Auto,Run,%ScriptFile%,AutoLangCode

Thanks for ideas, but the idea was primary to set only the language code ID to something that the user wants, so if the system is english only you can still have PENetwork in Italian, etc.
By default the language strings are in English.
Normally you wouldn't need the english language file, it's more for extending your own language file to see what new strings were added.
The problem was that the LCID was read out from file and detected correctly from system but wrong compared.
So, ie. on my system the locale ID under HKCU is "00000407" and not just "0407".
The comparison was wrong as to numbers - don't know why I came to this, maybe I thought the hex values were converted correctly to numbers - and so the string "0000040C" for instance was converted to "40" - letters were ignored on converting - I just used the wrong converting method.
And so it could happen that if you have "040C" on your system that the language file with ID "040E" could also be your 'right' language file, cause "0000040C" -> "40" and "0000040E" -> "40" -> "40" = "40"...

So long

Greetings Holger.
It's been a long time my old friend.
Is there any particular reason that you have to read the information from the registry instead of using a dll call to GetLocaleInfoW (kernel32.dll)?
Although I do remember having some issue with the German language return value. As far as I recall that was the only language that gave me an issue and i don't remember how I worked around it.

Of course I'm just getting into using WinBuilder so I'm not yet familiar with all the in's and outs; hence my reason for the question.

Hi George,

I see no advantage to call a dll to get the user and system lang code id.
Reading out 2 values from registry is more easy.
So next version (just bugfixing so far) will be published tomorrow, then the right language file should be detected

I just update PENework.script on Win7PE_SE server before, I'll do it again tomorrow with 0.58 beta6
Inside, latest version selected by default, version 056 removed, HKLM->HKCU for some key (following your faqs), Added "CloseToTray" and New "StartToTray".
http://w7pese.cwcodes.net/Projects/Win7PE_SE/Components/penetwork.script


Off topic, About GetLocaleInfoW, I use it in an au3 script with also LCIDToLocaleName and LocaleNameToLCID (kernel32.dll)  LCIDUtil.7z   3.54K   146 downloads
To write the localizations information in an ini file, some data are in Unicode following language. Not necessarily the same input language vs registry here.
but ini files are normally not unicode (forced to write with FileWrite).
Do you have a good practice about that.

Regards

[GEOSoft]

Hi. Chris

Rather than take this thread OT any longer; if you PM me on any of the forums you know I visit, I can tell you the 2 methods I've used to overcome that Unicode issue in the past.

[Holger]

Need some more time.
Maybe on Monday evening it should be ready so far, cause I'm just implementing some other stuff that I always wanted to.

Do you mean to say, that PENetwork requires now WMI or that it will use WMI, if available?

[Holger]

Do you mean to say, that PENetwork requires now WMI or that it will use WMI, if available?

You can use WMI optional to apply the IP settings only if it is available, maybe it can better work with some problematic adapters like Broadcom, etc.
By default (and this will not change) the settings are replied by writing the values to the registry and then restarting the network adapter.
The WMI option is experimental at the moment and will only work with PE2.X/3.X... cause from Vista on there is a command to disable/enable a network adapter.
There are also some undocumented API's which would work with XP/PE1.X (DhcpNotifyConfigChange or SetAdapterIpAddress) but I will not implement these.
Can't understand until today why Microsoft didn't make these functions public, cause the simple functions "AddIPAddress" and "DeleteIPAddress" are not really helpfull

[Holger]

Please re-download the archives for v.058.B6 of PENM if you have already downloaded them.
I just forgot to correct a numeric value.
So I did not change the version.
Thanks.

Just i want to ask a basic and probably common question. I am not sure if it is right topic but how to start penetwork silent to systemtray? It starts ok at boot but when it starts it show "Please wait..." window and loads basic services and card drivers. I want that it make these at backgound

[Holger]

Hello, there is no possibility at the moment.
Cause no one didn't had a problem with the 'information' window before so it was not build in.
However, it's easy to implement....so planned for next release.

[vvurat]

Thank you. It can be very informative sometimes but also sometimes it takes too much time for to wait it load on desktop. If there can be a switch for it will be great. Wish you to keep both options
