I am trying to install it on my new laptop and while installing, installation process hangs on step "Deploy Strataframe Data" with the message "An Error occured while deploying the data to the server"

I checked database connectivity and everything is fine. Not sure what the issue is.

Parameter name: chars

We have run into this problem in the past, however, I believe it was fixed when we manually specified the code page (1252) for the reading of data from the XML file for the deployment data.  It could be that since you're installing 1.5, it might be the version before we fixed it with that codepage change.

Is there a reason that you don't want to upgrade to 1.6?  Moving to a new machine would probably be the best time
