Hello Micha,
Did the problem affect the NEW Installer? Or just weren't you able to install 
the new installer due to the error in the old one? 

I hope the latter. The old installer wasn't compatible with UTF strings, but 
the new one should be. So try to download it manually:

www.bwj.aster.net.pl/qgis-oldapi/plugin_installer.zip 

and unpack the to the:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\.qis\python\plugins\

(or just copy from any "ASCII-only account")

I hope it will work fine then.
