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

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

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

Looks like it works on my system.

Windows version: 8.1 Enterprise

Mathematica version: 10.1
