More info:

This is the codes that appears in the fullname field instead of the
accented vocals:

 á = <E1> ó = <F3> É = <C9> Ú = <DA>
 é = <E9> ú = <FA> Í = <CD> Ñ = (whitespace)
 í = <ED> Á = <C1> Ó = <D3> € = (whitespace)

The above reads (for example): if the user types á, in the fullname field
appears <E1> (all the four characters).

Moreover, if you type any of the above characters (except Ñ and €), then
the backspace key doesn't works anymore (you can't delete the <??> code).

This bug is not only in the fullname field: the problem appears in any
text field during the installer (machine name, fullname, username, IP
address, and so on...)
