I am asking for feedback from people running Mathematica 10.0.x or 10.1.0 on Chinese versions of Windows. Does the following command work or does it give $Failed?

RunProcess[{"c:\\windows\\system32\\netstat.exe", "-h"}]

Please also let me know your precise version of Mathematica and Windows.

Why do I need this:

MaTeX relies on RunProcess and I have been getting complaints about failures which seem to be due to RunProcess simply not working on certain systems, and always returning $Failed. I am trying to find out why/when it fails. One guess

    maybe it's confusing it with DueProcess which would explain the $Failed (runs away) – rm -rf Apr 14 '15 at 15:41

    @rm-rf well, in principle, DueProcess is guaranteed by the US constitution. So, a failure should be reported immediately to WRI. – rcollyer Apr 14 '15 at 17:56
  • @rcollyer Have you seen this? My bug-judgment may have been premature, but something still seems fishy ... – Szabolcs Apr 14 '15 at 20:02
