Environment

- NS6.0 SP3 + BESR IC
- Windows 2003 SP2
- SQL2005 sp2

Cause

BESR IC is supporting only the English (US) language at the moment, but this is by design already and the development team working on the resolution.

Solution

As workaround you will need to change the Regional and Language settings to English (US) in Windows.
