Confirming: on Windows 7 with Lithuanian regional settings and 
Lithuanian UI, the installer runs in English.

UI language is part of the regional settings I think. Being a 
frenchwoman in Moscow, I would certainly want that particular part of 
regional settings (UI language) to be French.

However, I agree that not all languages are or will be available for 
user to choose from for their Windows UI, so a language selection page 
does make sense (with a best-guess default preselected).

I believe I suggested another possibility (without much reaction 
though): make the helppacks available from the installer UI, and 
download them at install time if needed. I'm not sure if we're using 
NSIS or not, but at least NSIS supports downloading (see 
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Features).
