The most likely cause is that your download didn't complete
successfully - I'd suggest downloading the installer again, if
necessary from a different mirror.
If you follow the instructions to validate the installer signature
(https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Are%20the%20packages%20signed#WindowsInstallers),
that will also validate that your download was successful.
