    Hi @Joseph

      SQLCOLLATION:                  Indic_General_90_CI_AS  
    

    You cannot have this collation as the server collation, Indic_General_90_CI_AS works only with unicode character set

    Please try to uninstall and then install again, when you run the setup wizard and come to the Server configuration page, you need to make the choice of collation
