JDK-5086339 - 64bit: windows installers should use iftw, all msi tables, and regutils
Description
When system locale set to Japanese, following WARNING appears and messages display garbled.

WARNING: Default charset MS932 not supported, using ISO8859-1 instead.

This problem reproduces only when used jre installed from amd64 jre bundle. Not when used jdk or 32 bit bundle. Confirmed with x64 Windows 2003 and Vista. This seems a problem from previous releases and no regression. When used JDK 6, the above warning doesn't appear but native messages will still garble.
Comments
EVALUATION The problem is that the IsIntlInstall customaction is not getting called for the 64-bit installer. This problem will go away when we have the official 64-bit deployment port.
