I might add that I have the same problem with the cheats database DLH98 (www.dlh.net) - it tries to write to the Temp folder, but also got problems with some letters. Compatibility didn't make it work, so I just changed the Temp folders.
Severity: blocker → major
Status: RESOLVED → UNCONFIRMED
Resolution: DUPLICATE → ---
Fix needed: support for letters such as ö,ä,ü in installer Temporary workaround: enforce Temp folders that don't contain these letters
Summary: cannot install, xpcom error → install error -204 if temp dir (Win login) contains non-ascii chars

dupe, as said before, and that one is fixed. If this is still broken on a recent nightly, then please, file a new bug and mark it as a regression. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 167515 ***
