I receive an error when trying to activate a project that contains certain non-English characters
The .NET Framework's default encoding reads the registry's ANSI codepage when encoding. As a result, errors might occur when activating questionnaires that include characters such as umlauts (for example, when the project name contains Ä). You can resolve this issue by updating the server's ANSI codepage:
1 Access the registry on the server (Start > Run > regedit).
2 Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP
3 For servers running a German operating system, enter a value of 850; for Chinese, enter a value of 936; for Japanese, enter a value of 932.
Refer to Encoding Class on the Microsoft MSDN site for more information.
