I installed the the 3.5.4 msi file on Win XP/pro and Vista.  I never got 
a non-English language splash.

Are you installing it on a computer that has a non-English default 
language in its settings, or a location where English is not the default 
language?

It could be something like that, which could cause an auto-language 
selection for the splash screen and language in the install screens 
instead of the language you are looking to use.  That would be a bug, or 
was just some feature that is in the install to pick the language used 
in the install process that they thought would be best for the user.  As 
an English user, and the only language I know, I do not have any 
experience with non-English installs.
