1.) click next ("Welcome...")
2.) agree to license
3.) components selection
4.) Destination folder selection
5.) Confirming the completion
6.) Confirming "finishation" (with the option to run)
I suggest the following for an update scenario:
1.) click "Update" (option to start Pidgin after install)
(2.) Optionally click "OK" on a message after installation is finished)
So I am talking about 5 additional clicks.

David
