2.7 could not install (or reuse) GTK, cannot find libatk-1.0-0.dll

[Michael Secord]

Please reply to the list as well.

That's because you didn't follow the instructions exactly. You need to 
use the Download button in the top bar, then click on Windows, and use 
that download (it'll say "pidgin-2.7.0-offline.exe" as a filename) 
instead of the standard download you get when clicking on download on 
the main page. The main page download will still take you to the online 
installer that is currently not working.
