Tests not working on the non-English Windows

[kant2002]

Description

Running tests does not work when default OS language is non-English. Tests fails since they try to compare English text with Russian output. I try to run tests, to be able finish #299
I have following options which could allow run tests on non-Windows locales

• Use [AssemblyInitialze] for setting up default locale to be English
• Maybe rework some code to clearly return errors, instead of relying on the exceptions
• Change messages to include codes of errors, which would unique identify errors and thus independent of locale. Like MSTEST0001, or if there something like that in place extend list of errors..

Steps to reproduce

• Take Windows 10 Home Single Language edition which is not English
• Run build.cmd
• Run test.cmd

Expected behavior

I expect that all tests would be passed

Actual behavior

Tests which verify text in the output fails.
Example:

Не пройдено:  GetTestMethodInfoShouldThrowIfTestContextHasMultipleAmbiguousTestContextProperties
Сообщение об ошибке:
 StringAssert.StartsWith failed. String 'Unable to find property Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.MSTestAdapter.UnitTests.Execution.TypeCacheTests+DummyTestClassWithMultipleTestContextProperties.TestContext. Error:Обнаружено неоднозначное соответствие..' does not start with string 'Unable to find property Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.MSTestAdapter.UnitTests.Execution.TypeCacheTests+DummyTestClassWithMultipleTestContextProperties.TestContext. Error:Ambiguous match found..'. .

Environment

• Windows 10 Home Single Language (Russian)

The underlying cause for that is command

xcopy /Y /I /S /E ..\..\..\packages\MSTest.Internal.TestFx.Localized.Documentation.1.0.0-build-20170420-1\contentFiles\any\any\Extensions\Desktop ..\..\..\artifacts\Debug\Extension.Desktop\

which seems to be does not respect MAX_PATH relaxation in the registry.

We currently don't have the infra for this in place. Closing the issue for now.
We would be more than happy if you would want to contribute this.
