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 Open the registry on the server (Start > Run > regedit), and then go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP
2 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.
