Failed to create the configuration database. Reason: The language is not supported on the server.

This may occur if MOSS Beta 2 uninstall removes the server language registry file. The error will occur when you try to install a new instance of MOSS (RTM).

To fix it:

  • Open notepad and paste the following:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\ServerLanguage]
    "1033"=""

  • Save this file as fixlanguage.reg on the server desktop and double click to run selecting yes when prompted.
  • Run the SharePoint configuration wizard.
