Apply correct localhost.tz file during PI Data Archive installation

To account for the different historical implementations of Daylight Saving Time in different regions, a localhost.tz file is added to the %piserver%\dat directory after installation. As an installer of PI Data Archive, I would like the localhost.tz files to be incorporated into the PI Server install kit, and to have the install kit either automatically select the localhost.tz file based on the machine's time zone settings, or allow me to manually select. This would eliminate a very manual step of PI Data Archive installation that is often forgotten.
