OK, I see what you are saying. I am pretty sure the bitAND code is
working properly and it does return the values listed in the
Microsoft docs for primary languages. These basically match the last
two digits of the language identifiers that you are looking at in
your code.
Based on the fact that Graham said that the queryRegistry was
returning empty in the function I posted I think he had some line
wrap problems with the queryRegistry line. I imagine there is an
extra or missing space in the registry key when he tested.
