Hello, I am hoping I have the right forum, but please feel free to move it if it isn't. The launcher screen referred to below is developed in MS Visual Studio 2015.

I have developed an application launcher screen (containing hyperlinks and buttons). The screen has a button that allows users to switch the language of the screen content. If the user clicks on a hyperlink on the form to open a specific program, but it is not installed, a dialog box appears to inform them that it is not installed and do they want to download and install it. If they click Yes they are taken to a specific web page in their default browser from where they can then download the install. If they switch language on the launcher screen itself, and then click a hyperlink for an uninstalled program, it should open a web page in the language selected for the launcher screen itself. So for instance, if they switch the launcher screen language to French, they should be directed to a web page that is in French.

Within the Visual Studio IDE itself, when the form is run, it works fine. However, if I do a build and run the launcher screen on another system, the browser always open to a web page of the OS language, and not the language selected for the launcher screen.

I am not sure if this is a browser issue, or something in the code, or other...

Here is a snippet of code, if it helps (for privacy reasons actual paths and file names have been omitted):



Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
