Issue/Introduction

Ghost Solution Suite/Ghost Standard Tools 3.3.13 Boot Disk Creator (bootwiz.exe) doesn't work on OS environments installed with a language other than English.

When you attempt to create boot disk on a pre-existing boot disk configuration with bootwiz.exe opened in another language (example: "bootwiz.exe /lang ES"), you will see the following error dialog:

  Attempted an unsupported operation

 If 'OK' is selected, the same error dialog will appear a few times. The Boot Disk Creator panel will eventually appear but you cannot create boot disk because of the same error.
