problems with WMS layers, invalid bbox parameter

Hi,

I'm trying to add some WMS layers to the display in ArcGIS Explorer.
They are added fine, but do not show anything.
Using Fiddler, I found out that ArcGIS Explorer appearantly sends an invalid bbox parameter, I get this response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<ServiceExceptionReport version="1.1.1">
<ServiceException>
Invalid BBOX value
</ServiceException>
</ServiceExceptionReport>

Looking at the request, I can easily see what's wrong:

GET /wmsconnector/com.esri.wms.Esrimap/Geobase_NRN_Manitoba_I_Detail?VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG:4326&WIDTH=512&HEIGHT=512&LAYERS=Manitoba&STYLES=&EXCEPTIONS=application/vnd.ogc.se_xml&FORMAT=image/png&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&BBOX=-102,007611,46,982463,-88,990814,59,999260 HTTP/1.1

The decimal values are seperated using a comma instead of a dot.
This is happening on a german windows.

Changing the regional settings in Windows to English (USA) makes it work.
So it looks like the decimal seperator for the request is taken from the regional settings, instead of being hardcoded to ".".
