Description
When installing the metadata packages as part of the RIO Education installation process, you might run into this error with non-English Salesforce organizations:
Resolution
This is due to a field on custom objects that is only available for English organizations.
To fix this, you will need to extract and open the failing .zip folder, and find the file from the componentFailures. In this example, the file is "hed__Address__c.object". Any text editor should be able to open it.
You will need to delete the following line:
- <startsWith>Vowel</startsWith>
Save the file, re-zip the folder, and try deploying again.
