TESTED English/French/Russian install on Vista

NOTE: depending how you make your backups, there will be one problem with missing files and that is thumbs.db files in Support folder which are included in install progress in autorun.dat, some methods doesn't include these and installer will error about missing thumbs.db

Don't remove these from autorun.dat or french and russian install will not work (can't apply transform)

Fix: If using ImgBurn then check these boxes before making iso in Options tab, "Include Hidden Files" and "Include System Files".
