Can not find 32 bit bonjour that installs on 64 bit windows so I can use bonjour with Pidgin

[Tres Finocchiaro]

Mark,

I was under the impression the 64-bit came bundled with the 32-bit plugin
as well.

Have you tried it with the 64-bit?  Did it not work?

We have a few 64-bit Windows workstations at my job and we were able to get
it working without much effort.
