Was Pidgin running? Windows is unable to delete files that are open.

The installer doesn't do anything with your .purple. It's only going to
be created when you actually run Pidgin. So, unless you run Pidgin from
the installer, you'll be fine. (I'm not sure if we offer that or not,
but it is common on Windows.)
