Compiled Delphi resource can not be read on some Chinese Windows

I have compiled a resource in a dll file in two steps

brcc32 Xresource.rc
dcc32 resource.dpr

resource.dpr is a delphi project containing

library resource;

{$R XResource.res}

begin
end.

The problem appears on some (not all) Chinese Windows (XP & 7). On these machines I can't read the strings from resource.

Any Ideea ? Should I compile it in a different way ?

Thank you.

Please be more specific about what happens. Is there an error? How do you read the strings from resource? – Stijn Sanders
Make sure the language in project version information is set to Neutral as well as in all resource script files. – Jay
Please mention the delphi version. – Marco van de Voort
Indeed, I'm guessing it's an older Delphi version because of the manual use of brcc32 – Jerry Dodge
@Jerry There are certain use cases for calling brcc32 even in newer Delphi versions - e.g. if you want to add version information or an app icon to your application via external script. – Frank Schmitt

With modern Unicode-ready versions you just keep strings into DFM.

you can also try using resourcestring keyword.
