I read numerous other posts that indicate how to rebuild system dbs with a new collation. I have no user databases as of yet (vendor noticed it was wrong collation before they started their installation.) They want the collation to be "Latin1_General_CI-AS" instead of "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI-AS".
I have executed this:
Setup /ACTION=REBUILDDATABASE /INSTANCENAME=SQLA /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="domain\acct" /SAPWD=MyPwd!" /SQLCOLLATION="Latin1_General_CI-AS"
This is from my Summary.txt file from myC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log directory:
Overall summary:Final result: Failed: see details below

Is the collation Latin1_General_CI-AS something I have to enable or install?
I have tried the above with both "Latin1_General_CI-AS" and "Latin1_General_CP1_CI-AS" with the same results.
Ideas?
