It's possible to use a third party tool such as PaquetBuilder (http://www.gdgsoft.com/pb/) that will embed all of the .msi and local files into a single .exe that can detect the OS locale. Be warned, however, that the behavior can be unpredictable when using these types of tools, especially on Vista. We've been using this approach for the past year and have spent a great deal of time debugging some very strange installation failures and successes that were actually failures in disguise.
