SnapCenter 3.0 fresh install fails

Trying to install SnapCenter 3.0 on fresh install of Windows 2012R2 and Win 2016 fails (see attachement)

Installing SnapCenter 2.0 first and then upgrade to 3.0 works fine.

Wanting a fresh install of SnapCenter, what can i do?

I had the same issue and NetApp Support advised me to change the date, time or number format of the SnapCenter host server to English. This solved the issue for us.

Correct!

With this error you have to set the Regional Settings to English (US)

Retarded error. But thanks for the help. Is it possible to change back to correct Region after setup or does it break then?

Hi, i think you can change the Locale settings after the installation.

i tried to do some tests and apparently it did not break anything.

I had to use the same trick to install SnapCenter 3.0.1
