Boot Camp installs in wrong language. How can I fix this?

I have a MacBook with an English keyboard running Lion in English. I used Boot Camp to download the WindowsSupport package and then installed 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate, also in English.

Turns out the WindowsSupport package is in German, probably because I am currently in Switzerland.

How can I fix this?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I used the Boot Camp assistant to download the Boot Camp drivers again and it again downloaded the German version. How can I download the English version?

Turns out the installer installs the version for the country one is in rather than the language Windows is configured for.

When I told Windows that I were in Ireland rather than Switzerland, it installed the English version.
