Hi, A few facts about Windows installer of LibreOffice: It is a single MSI file - on purpose. It is simpler and more useful that old solution with preinstaller, setup.exe, several transforms etc. MSI format has some limitations. It is not an executable, it is a database. Windows itself contains the installer software, which can open and install software from MSI installation databases.
The UI language of the Windows installer depends on the setting of Contol Panel - Regional and Language - Format (on Windows 7). It does not depend on UI language of Windows. For example, when I have an English Windows 7 with Latvian format set up, then I will have Latvian LibreOffice installer, which installs English and Latvian LibreOffice UI. Unfortunately the same is not true for Scottish Gaelic. When I set up Scottish Gaelic format, the installer remains in English. I don't know why this happens. Maybe it is a bug in Windows itself. Or Scottish Gaelic is not as developed locale as Latvian or others. I can force Scottish Gaelic UI of the installer, msiexec /i LibreOffice_4.0.1.2_Win_x86.msi TRANSFORMS=:1084. But even in this case I won't have Scottish Gaelic UI automatically selected for installation. I have to use the msiexec /i LibreOffice_4.0.1.2_Win_x86.msi TRANSFORMS=:1084 UI_LANGS=en_GB,gd command, to install with English (Great-Britain) and Scottish Gaelic UI, of msiexec /i LibreOffice_4.0.1.2_Win_x86.msi TRANSFORMS=:1084 UI_LANGS=gd for Scottish Gaelic only. It is not possible to include a language selector UI in the MSI database. The language of the MSI database is determined by Windows before the first dialog comes up. We could use a setup.exe maybe. But then we would not have a single file MSI installer any more.
