You should be able to make a check for a registry value in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Nls\Language.  The key
you are looking for is "InstallLanguage."  Some values that you might
want to check for are:

 

0409 - United States

0809 - United Kingdom

1009 - Canada

 

There are many other English identifiers for different countries.  See 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776260.aspx for a more
complete listing.

 

This key exists on my XP and Vista machines so it should work for both.
I have not implemented this so I strongly urge you to give it some
adequate testing.

Subject: OS Language Check

 

Does anyone have a check in place to check the language of the OS?  We
would like to stop supporting foreign OS's on our network.  Any
suggestion would greatly be appreciated.
