Trying to install VC2.5 on a clean Winsrv2k3 R2 SP2 Std English, virtual machine running on VMware ESX 3.5
In the midle of the installation I get this Error message:
Warning 25098.Setup has detected that the VirtualCenter Service is not running on this system. Please wait for this service to start and then try installing VMware Update Manager and/or VMware Converter Enterprise again.
The vpxd-5.log show's this:

Forcing shutdown of VMware VirtualCenter now
The server is installed with Norwegian - Nynorsk, locals. But get exactly the same errors when I uninstall changing to English (US) and then reinstall.
Hope anybody can help.
Kind regards

This is version 2.0.1 and not 2.5, there isn't any strange characters in the loc2iso.vlcl, and also this problem is related to Norwegian - Bokmål not Norwegian Nynorsk. Still I have tried to replace the å in Bokmål with Alt + 134 without anything changes. Still cannot start VC Server.
The server OS is English, only regional settings are Norwegian, have also tried uninstall and reinstall with English-US regional setting (and locales).
