You could trick the game and replace install.exe with an EXE running install.exe via Locale Emulator. Something like that:

1. Rename the original installer "TrueInstall.exe"
2. Create a TXT file with the following code:
Code:
start Absolute\Path\To\LEProc.exe "Absolute\Path\To\TrueInstall.exe"
See thebrakshow's post for details (read the 2nd attachment).
Save the TXT file as "Install.bat" and put it in the same folder as Install.exe
3. Convert "Install.bat" into "Install.exe". A few solutions are described

I can't test the solution, probably there are a few details to fix. Anyway, I guess you've got the idea.
