Maybe I'm missing something, but I have tried my MUI installer in serveral languages, and in each case the MessageBox 'Yes' and 'No' buttons remain in English.

Yes despite having set Windows language and locale settings. Though it should not matter, if it did what would be the point of asking the user which language to use? Which leads me to another point.. If the user's language selection is not supported by the system (i.e. the language profile in question is not loaded), there should be an alternative to the user running the installer with garbage texts. A prompt, for example, explaining that language in question can not be displayed might be helpful.
The Windows texts don't depend on the locale you set, they depend on the UI language you install. Just like the start menu doesn't get translated when you change the locale so do the message boxes stay in the same language.
As for a prompt about a missing language, the user should know if his system can or can't display the specific language. Some languages will only miss some characters and the user might know how to read it without those, we can't force him not to read it this way.
