Error Description:

Resolution:

We currently do not support any international version (or language pack) of Microsoft Operating Systems for the following reasons:

• Country-Specific Date Format. Since dates are used in many SQL operations and calculations, when the dates are in a different format (or, especially when in a similar format), the calculations will give unexpected results. Such as confusion of the following date; 6/1/04 equating to June 1st or January 6th of 2004?
• Number Formats. Some countries use a different character to separate the thousands, and a different one to separate decimals (such as France). France uses the following format for numbers. "1.000,00" Because of this, scoring calculations will not work, an error will occur when attempting to generate reports.
• Data Types. The Data Types (in code and in the databases) are set to our specific needs. In international operating systems, the meanings of the data types change. Essentially, this means that our software is expecting an exact type of data, e.g. number, text, etc... if the meanings change, then the types do not match what was expected. e.g. Runtime error 13 - Type Mismatch.

WPPSI-III French Scoring Assistant (Aide la Notation WPPSI-III) will be the first international product released by CPG. Because of this, at this time we are only aware of the differences between a French Operating System with a France locale, and ours. Therefore, we can say that our software will most likely work if the Regional Settings in the Control Panel of a French OS is set to Anglais (tes-unis amerique), which is English (United States). This setting would have to be set throughout the entire process (install, launch, execute, uninstall, etc...). However, none of our software has been tested on this operating system at this time.
