Reloading the OS and choosing the custom install to specify the Regional settings would insure that the folder for contents would be installed
Regional settings can be changed after install,click Start-Settings-Control Panel,double-click Regional Settings icon,once panel is open click the arrow to set the regional settings you prefer

Also be aware that some programs have an internal language set of there own. So even if you get windows to switch over to French, some of your programs may not work correctly. I had this problem with my US English program that I help write, It wouldnot accept the change over to French and also Spanish. I had to re-write some sections because of the currency symbols not working with the VB controls that I used.
