Is running toolkit 3.6.4 on XP supported ?

I got error:

We are using Slovak windows XP
I tested previous version:
3.5.0 is working OK
3.6.0 working, but not recognize language
3.6.1 errors
3.6.3 errors

Can you help me, or I must rewrite Deployments scripts to 3.5.0 version?

Thx

Hi,

I solve my problem by changing Lines 270-281 to:

#  Read language for Win XP machines
		If (-not $HKULanguages) {
            #Rudo
            #[string]$HKULocale = Get-RegistryKey -Key 'HKCU\Control Panel\International' -Value 'Locale' -SID $RunAsActiveUser.SID
			[int32]$HKULocale = [Convert]::ToInt32((Get-RegistryKey -Key 'HKCU\Control Panel\International' -Value 'Locale' -SID $RunAsActiveUser.SID),16)
			If ([string]$HKULocale) {
				#Rudo
                #[int32]$HKULocale = '0x' + $HKULocale
                [string[]]$HKULanguages = ([Globalization.CultureInfo]($HKULocale)).Name
                
			}
		}

I will test it on other platforms.

It looks like you implemented the fix from the 3.6.5 beta for this issue for anyone else having the same problem on XP.
