Abstract:
1. A method for dynamically verifying resource compatibility with an operating system, the method comprising: obtaining a request to load a resource from an alternate resource module, wherein the alternate resource module corresponds to a selected language specific interface of an operating system; obtaining a first resource content of a default resource module from which the alternate resource module was localized; obtaining a second resource content of a current default resource module; determining whether the alternate resource module is compatible with an upgrade to the operating system based on comparing the first resource content and the second resource content, wherein determining whether the alternate resource module is compatible with the upgrade to the operating system includes comparing a first checksum of the first resource content to a second checksum of the second resource content to determine whether the first checksum matches the second checksum; if the first checksum matches the second checksum, updating operating system upgrade compatibility information in a registry resource version database to indicate the alternate module is compatible with the upgrade to the operating system and loading the requested resource from the alternate resource module; and if the first checksum does not match the second checksum, updating the operating system upgrade compatibility information to indicate the alternate module is not compatible with the upgrade to the operating system and loading the requested resource from the current default resource module.
