Solution

The problem is corrected in Ram Connection version 11.0 and later.

For affected versions, go to Control Panel - Region (or Regional Settings) and click on Additional Settings...

This opens the Customize Format dialog. On the Numbers tab, make sure that the Decimal Symbol is set to period "." and the Digit grouping symbol is set to comma ","
