Code Page problem while installing and connecting to Database

[Fadou]

I'm installing MS Project Server 2003 on Win 2003 (Locale US). I created the
database manually and I used the provided script on the installation CD to
setup the DB (on SQL Server 2000 SP4)
I'm still in the setup process, where it asks to enter DB credentials in
order to connect, and after I supply the user names and passwords it gives
the following message:
You windows locale settings prohibit a connection to the database. Change
your local settings to support code page 32434 before attempting to connect
to database.

I'm stuck here. does anybody has encountred such a problem?
Thanks for your valuable help.

Seems like an un-resolved mystery.

What are the locale settings on the SQL box?

English US (1033), I'm trying MS Project on the same box where SQL is
installed. I tried other options (SQL on separate machine) the same error!

Fadou:

Why are you installing in such a manual way, rather than using the
installation routine? Perhaps your approach is missing something. As you
might imagine, it's difficult to guess at these things when someone chooses
the road less traveled.

I'm using the manual setup because the automatic one has failed for the
same reason!!!
