Another recommendation is to make sure pidgin is not set to load on startup, reboot, disable your antivirus, install and then uninstall.

If the uninstaller is crashing it is most likely caused by something other than the nullsoft installer.  This could be several things such as anti-malware blocking a file or registry operation, corrupt or improper permissions in the registry, corrupt files, bad hard driver sectors, locked or partial files, etc.  You will likely need to take corrective action on the underlying issue before this issue will be fixed.  There are several free tools such as CCleaner, Malwarebytes, chkdsk which can help.  If these don't help, you may choose to Google the steps to manually uninstall an application (with CCleaner supports as well).
