it seems to trace to Enum = sLang.OSLanguage; in core.js
if i recall correctly i also saw a different error message once for the same problem with less information but i still traced it to Enum = sLang.OSLanguage; in core.js
could be it happens because regional options settings are skipped (i'm providing them in winnt.sif), still it should pick a default not throw an error.
this happens when installing from a cd of windows xp sp3 vl english source on vmware.
lots of hugs
