I got error when installing MSDE 2000 on WinXP Pro

sql server msde: I downloaded SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 and installed. I setup it up by
typing in the command line:

setup SAPWD=â€sapassâ€ SECURITYMODE=SQL

It started but up to "Gathering required information", an error box poped up
with message:
"unable to determine system default collation"

Please advise what this error is and how to solve the problem to complete
the installation process. I am a newbie and just started to learn
programming.
