Visual Studio / IIS: Dutch exceptions unsatisfactory

Question

In Visual Studio and IIS I get Dutch exceptions. I'd like them to be English in order to copy them to seek for a proper solution.

I've tried:

• Checking if I have any language pack installed
• (UI) culture in web.config
• Set Windows 8.1 to English primary language
• Set culture right before exception or in page itself

None of the options above help and I've checked the other questions on SO about this case (which describe the options above for example) I'm in the dark about the proper solution and I hope there's just a setting instead of having to put something in every application.

Help appreciated.

My setup:

• Visual Studio 2012
• ReSharper 7
• IIS Express / Visual Studio Development Server

Answer 1

The reason I guess is that the original machine was installed with the Dutch language pack. The IIS account is Dutch. You can set the current Threads culture in .NET, but I don't know if it that smart to do that.

Options:

• Set the IIS language in Home > .NET globalization;
• Set the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture and Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture (should do the same as you already did in the web.config);
• Reinstall to make it an English system;
• Change the user of IIS and set it to an account where you set the language to English.
