--- Comment #12 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
The UI language of the installer is defined by ProductLanguage property [1]. It
automatically selects the built-in language transform. The command line to run
LO MSI installer in any supported language is

> msiexec /i LibreOffice_X.Y.Z_Win_x64.msi ProductLanguage=1033

where 1033 is for en-US; the value is decimal LCID number [2]. Note that the
[MS-LCID] document lists the IDs in hexadecimal, e.g. 0x0409 for en-US.

It should be noted that msiexec sets this value itself if it's 0, and it's
msiexec which reads HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International values,
however that could be counter-intuitive.

It's interesting if we can change this value dynamically in the installer to
change UI language dynamically - which, if possible, would allow to add the
"Choose installer language" page in the beginning.
