Run exe/process with CultureInfo

Question

4.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have an exe which read CultureInfo from xml file and sets current thread CultureInfo (developed on some specific requirements). If nothing is defined in xml file then it always sets locale as en-US. I dont have the source code, only the exe. Is there any way to run this exe with different CultureInfo settings (ex.- using AppDomain or Process classes)...? basically I want to create a separate exe which sets the CultureInfo of current thread and then loads this exe. Please suggest other ways to do it. Hope I am clear.

So clear that I even up-voted the question with 4, which happens quite rarely :-)
(For comparison, these days, up to half of the questions are so bad that they are removed immediately, often even with reports for abuse. :-)

It depends on that EXE. If it uses hard-coded culture and does not provide any mechanism for changing culture, you hardly can do anything except… reverse-engineering it with modification of the code, which is, by the way, is not so hard to achieve.
