Hi,

I have a propostion to improve user/group selection dialog. Currently at v11.8 AdvancedInstaller shows groups and users created on machine it's running on. Despite that there are already implemented automatical localization for groups and users based on properties, it's absolutely not obvious that there are such feature, just by looking on dialog (especially for novice users). It would be great if just after "Accounts" root, there will be a branch named "Automatically localized", where all USR_* and GRP_* properties will be listed with current local translation in brackets.
Something like this: Moreover there is a list of well-known SIDs used in Windows (both for groups and users), you can list them, user selects for example group "Users" (SID: S-1-5-32-545), and then during installation all actions are performed using that SID instead of plain group name string. Backwards of such method is that you should take into account a fact, that not all currently well-known SIDs where existing on previous versions of Windows (for ex. SID for group "Users" was added only in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008).
