I've reported it to Chris Mallett from Autohotkey and maybe it would be changed
to a more precise way in a future major release. And from my own research I
agree to you. It seems to be possible to take another system language for the
dialogs after installation (and done so by Multilingual-User-Interface Editions
of Windows like Windows Embedded).

AFAIK from MSDN resources and infos from Chris the registry keys
"InstallLanguage" and "Default" will contain the default language code page of
the CD or that was selected during Windows installation. (

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957158(printer).aspx 's comment of
"Default" entry under topic "LanguageID REG_SZ Filename" ).

On the other way, "MUI products are available only through volume agreements
from Microsoft. They are not available through retail channels." (from
Wikipedia Multilingual_User_Interface)

As I mentioned in bug opening comment, AHK's quirked approach (yes it should
have better used something like GetThreadLocale ) works well under my retail
Windows XP. So it's probably a question of compatibility: should Wine imitate
MUI features or should it better present as a "windows" which was installed
with current LC* environment settings.
