Version 4.06 fails in System.Number.StringToNumber

[ppblais]

I am running PSP Video 9 on Vista, with the linguistic/international options set to use the decimal comma instead of the period (French/International). It seems the code does not expect numbers using commas as the decimal point. When starting PSP Video 9 version 4.06, it fails with the following for some people (this is not exactly what I am seeing; I have yet to find how to capture the full error for posting, so I found this one a French forum where a French user ran into this specific problem):

I can work around the problem by changing my Regional and Linguistic options to English from French, whereby the decimal point become the period instead of the comma.

The code should not make regional assumptions and should parse textual numbers using the appropriate "locale".

As well note that the word "occured" should really be "occurred" in the error message.

Lastly, I have a screen capture of the error message I received if this is useful.
