 I had to reinstall Pidgin & GTK+ after removing an old hard drive that had
 Pidgin on it. I uninstalled Pidgin and it all worked fine. After
 downloading the new installer, I installed it, successfully. I tried
 running it and it told me it couldn't find a DLL and GTK+. After numerous
 tries to reinstall it I thought I'd just try installing GTK+. this isn't
 the easiest thing to find by itself while still being able to be used by
 pidgin, so I tried one last time to reinstall it. This time I looked at
 the output and found where it extracted GTK+ to, and installed that. I
 found that pidgin hid the pop up that GTK+ has which asks where to install
 itself. GTK+ was still trying to install to the old hard drive! So, I
 changed it to the new path and it worked like new.

 Suggestion:

 A: Make GTK+ install to the same place as pidgin.
 B: Run GTK+ as a separate pop up installer so the user can configure the
 settings.
