What would be the correct order in an application to check?

I am not sure what you are trying to check from your application. The link you left points to the article explaining how MFC is choosing a satelite dll.

It starts with GetUserDefaultUILanguage(), which returns ENU (US English) on my computer which is wrong as I have ENG (UK English).

Well, thanks for taking the time to explain!

The only question he cannot answer is about his true identity which is a closely guarded secret.

Who is Dr. International?
Dr. International's identity is one of the most closely guarded secrets of Microsoft.
