I installed by simply guessing where to click to continue on each
dialog, thus getting all the defaults, since earlier discussions had
indicated this would work.
I had no alternative. While the splash screen does display Russian and
the blue background has a mishmash of garbage (roman characters with
lots of diacritics), in the step-by-step installation dialogs
themselves, I see no text at all, except for the occasional English
word or punctuation mark; everything else looks like an underline (or
continuous dashes).
There was absolutely no way I could tell which dialog represented
"type of installation".

The line actually says "IE" with a circumflex accent on each letter. I
checked under Editor Preferences, and it says Courier New. (At the
bottom of the "sample editor window" below, I see the same garbage
that I see when beginning a DrWeb install.) I can change the display
of your test string by changing Encoding, but I don't ever get "OK".
I don't know what's going on, because I have at times viewed Cyrillic
characters in messages.
In any case, as someone else pointed out, The Bat! settings will not
affect my ability or inability to see Russian characters (or any at
all!) During the DrWeb install.
FWIW, my installation was successful, and I was able to switch to
English just fine in both applications; I just didn't get the
command-line program.
By the way, I am running Windows 98 (original version with updates)
and The Bat! 1.38e.
Thanks for your help.
