SYMPTOMSMicrosoft Internet Information Server (IIS) may not start when it is installed on a computer running the French version of Windows NT or Windows 95/98 and the default system locale is set to French (Canadian). CAUSE
This is by design. When IIS is installed on a computer where French (Standard) is the system default locale, IIS disables Cryptography due to current laws in France. Because of this, the metabase is then stored in clear text. When IIS is installed on a computer where the system locale is anything except French (Standard), IIS stores the metabase as encrypted. WORKAROUNDIf you want to use encryption in IIS, then change the system locale to French (Canadian), or change the system locale that you intend to use before installing IIS. This ensures that IIS will create an encrypted metabase. Additional query words:
