SYMPTOMS

This issue may occur if all the following conditions exist:

 * You did not reformat the partition before you install Windows Server 2003 on it.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, format the partition before you run Windows Server 2003 Setup and perform the new installation, or delete the MUI Fusion folder before you run MUI Setup:  Start Windows Explorer. Locate the following folder, where  is the drive where Windows Server 2003 is installed,   is the language version that is installed on your computer, and   is a string of alphanumeric characters that is specific to the language version that is installed on your computer:
