Use the localized Microsoft Windows version when available. If the localized version is not available, use the English version with the appropriate regional setting.
Use the Regional Options Control Panel to change the regional setting. For more information, see the Windows help system.
If you intend to install IBM® Content Search Services to a path that contains non-English characters, ensure that your version of Windows supports the locale of the non-English characters. If the native Windows command shell displays the non-English characters correctly, the locale is supported.
