Please note that there are many locales missing in Windows XP, and that in the affected countries we do NOT want to read OS settings (because the OS is en-US, or fr-FR).

On the contrary, we have to make sure that this does not happen, and that the settings of the locale are respected.

Somewhere in the code there is a list of these locales that do not exist in Windows XP. Windows installers for these languages are are always bilingual, because the installer cannot work on the language (script) of the locale, and must work in English. This requires that both languages be installed.

For the last two years we have had an issue open to try to spoof the system locale for these languages, so that the installed package, even if the installation language is English, is the other language of the package. For example, if we have an Khmer/English Windows Package, the default installed locale should be Khmer. As this does not yet happen, we have to retouch ALL installations, and set the locale.

Please consider this issue for 3.0.

I don't have time for that in 3.0 time frame. So, if anyone is
considering, please consider also who will be implementing it.

Please also note that it is important to read all settings, not just decimal separator.

While reading the settings from the system would be fairly easy, merging
them to the layers of locale data and number parser/formatter will need
some substantial changes.
