SYMPTOMS

When you run Windows 2000 Setup from MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows 3.x, you are not prompted to select a language, and this may prevent you from configuring some of your regional options during the latter part of Setup.

CAUSE

The issue occurs because the Winnt.exe Windows Setup program does not support this feature. This feature is only available in the 32-bit version of Windows Setup, Winnt32.exe.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, configuring your regional options after Setup finishes.
