EMIS Partner API - FileRecord call - confusing date format error

API Platform
1

We encounter an issue only on our Windows VM and not on our local development environment.

When calling FileRecord, we receive the following error:"
“Invalid date format. Requires ‘dd/MM/yyyy’“

I’ve verified that the date formats in the XML we pass into FileRecord are in the dd/MM/yyyy format. Could this be a locale error? The VM (FileRecord calls fail) is set to US locale, and the local deployment (FileRecord calls succeed) is set to the UK locale.

Yes. You have to set Regional Format to English(UK) inside Time and Language in your VM to stop getting this error.

Yes, that fixed it, thanks!
