Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the tip - these were the two problems. I have now been able to
successfully build the installer on Windows. However, when I use the offline
installer that I built, gtk.zip does not install (the Gtk folder is not just
present in C:\Program Files (x86)\Pidgin. Any ideas on how I can get Gtk to
install successfully as part of the offline installer?

Thanks,

Andrew
