Download and copy

blender-utf8.bat57 BDownload
to blender2.69 directory (same directory where blender.exe exists),
and execute the bat file, then try to install the add-on.

If this is the same probelm, this workaround should work.

Or, you can simply copy the add-on file (unzip if compressed) into blender folder:
<path-to-blender>\ ...\blender-2.69-windows32\2.69\scripts\addons.
Assuming path to blender doesn't contain non-ascii characters.

Known issue, will be fixed with py3.4… Merging.
