SectionEnd

That works great for me - running WinXP-Pro

"United Kingdom"

-Stu 🙂

Thanks Afrow 🙂
Hope to work in Win9x and WinME
Tested in Windows 2000 Pro, already 😁

I will test on Win98.

Ack.
It doesn't work on Win98.

I will search the registry...

-Stu

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\User Location Service\Client

That's another one I found, but the value was GB not Great Britain.


-Stu

It's suppose to be the complete String...
Maybe I'll work only at NT OS machines...
I'll search more...

I'm sure System would work somewhere for this?

-Stu

Try this:

ReadRegStr $1 HKU ".DEFAULT\Control Panel\International" "sCountry"

Sorry no 🙁

Well...I'll submit but warning that only will work on
NT Systems

You could add a bit:
StrCmp $R0 "" 0 +2
StrCpy $R0 "Unknown Country"

-Stu

I wait a little bit...
I try another way...
If not, I'll do that...
Thanks dude 🙂

Lobo Lunar, try with this:

Function GetCountry

	System::Call 'kernel32::GetLocaleInfoA(i 1024, i 6, t .r1, i ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN}) i r0'

	MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "$1"

FunctionEnd

Yes it Works.. 🙂
But I was trying without the plugin...
I'm testing...if not working, I'll submit with the plugin...
Thanks....

Maybe this helps:

Trying Monki code with few adds...
Please try it...

Works ok for me
