If a language is not supported by the installer natively, please display the 
interface in English.

The new mactype installer (1.2012.1022.0) will allows you to select installer 
language if your system language is not supported. however, if you have 
previous version of mactype installed, it will simply apply the last language 
the installer used.

So this affects all users who update on a OS language not supported by the 
older version. Maybe you can consider either a) always displaying the language 
selector, or only if the preinstalled MacTray language is Chinese and the OS 
language is not supported by the current installer.

Anyways, really nice product!

Here's a workaround:

- Run regedit.exe
- Search for mactype
- It should bring you to a key for the installer (for me it was 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\B74B5E2E1EBD3A74384CFBE3D2D16F9A)
- Back up the key (Right click on key name->Export)
- Delete the key

If you broke anything by accident you can restore the key by running the .reg 
file you exported.
