Answer 1

There were a few problems, but here is a working one

@ECHO off
FOR /f "tokens=3" %%a IN ('reg query^
 "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\control\nls\language" /v InstallLanguage') DO (
    SET answer=%%a
) 
IF %answer%==0415 (
    GOTO :DUTCH
) ELSE (
    GOTO :OTHER
)

:DUTCH
MSG * windows is in dutch
GOTO :END

:OTHER
MSG * CANT FIND VERSION
GOTO :END

:END
pause
