I have a tricky situation here that I can't seem to get around.

My SQL server had the wrong collation so I need to chage it. I am trying to install SQL to use a certain collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS). For some reason when I install SQL server the Code Page is getting set to 437 which is MS DOS U.S. English instead of 1 which is Latin1 (ANSI). Uninstalling and reinstalling SQL and choosing Latin1 results in the same collation.

How can we install SQL and force the correct collation and Code Page?

Thanks.

SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS is default collation, sql will use it if you didn't make any change during installation.

Yes, I completely understand this. I am leaving it default during install, which should install using Latin1.
