Supported Operating Systems And Web Browsers

For information on supported operating systems and web browsers, see the

Systems Software Support Matrix

NOTE: Ensure that the web browser is configured to bypass the proxy server for local addresses.

Multilingual User Interface Support

The installer provides Multilingual User Interface (MUI) support available on the following operating systems:

• Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)

• Windows Server 2008 (64-bit) R2

• Windows Server 2008 (64-bit) R2 SP1

• Windows Small Business Server 2011 (64-bit)

The MUI Pack are a set of language-specific resource files that you can add to the English version of a supported

Windows operating system. The installer supports only six languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Simplified

Chinese, and Japanese.

NOTE: When the MUI Pack is set to non-Unicode languages like Simplified Chinese, set the system locale to

Simplified Chinese. This enables display of the prerequisite checker messages. This is because any non-Unicode

application runs only when the system locale (also called

Language for non-Unicode Programs on XP) is set to

match the application's language.

Viewing Localized Versions Of The Web-Based Interface

To view the localized versions of the web interface on Windows, in the Control Panel select Regional and Language

Options.
