Hi, I think you are overdoing things. When MSN started ages ago, they started in dozens of countries with only 3 or 4 languages. I think it IS useful to have the reduced set on the install disks. The installer can then pick one of the language specific sets to copy to C:, as is currently done with CuteMouse, too.
I think doublezipping is also overdoing things. The doublezipping works because when you FIRST zip with NO compression and THEN pack that zip into another zip, then you can compress archives with several similar files better. But this is tricky to unpack and needs more temp space. I recommend using TGZ in that case. There are at least TAR and GZIP for DOS, but only a monolithic TAR+GZ would avoid the temp space problem (with separate tools, you need space for the uncompressed "inner zip"...). And I think all this is too complicated for our installer! Only use it when the differences are really big.
