SUMMARY

Use the following steps to build a Japanese application on U.S. Windows NT version 3.5 using the English 32-bit Edition of Visual C++ version 2.0:

  1. Copy c_932.nls from your Japanese Windows NT version 3.5 CD or disks.
  2. Add c_932.nls to your English Windows NT version 3.5 system directory (for example, WINNT35\SYSTEM32.
  3. Using REGEDT32.EXE, search for "codepage" in the following registry subkey:
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
    						
    Add this value:

    932 : REG_SZ : c_932.nls

  4. Add the "/C932" switch to the RC compiler option in the Project setting in the Microsoft Visual C++ IDE (Intergrated Development Environment).
Take similar steps if you want to use U.S. Windows NT version 3.5 as the development environment and build an application that requires a codepage that is not present on U.S. Windows NT version 3.5.
