The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) version 3.5 and 3.51
Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, version 2.0
Microsoft Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51

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.
