#11481: Missing registry keys (Windows 7)

 I've just installed Pidgin 2.6.6 on a Windows 7 Professional PC and go to
 the command line and just type: pidgin --help

 before it spits out the usage/syntax for running pidgin.exe from the
 command line, it gives me error messages:


 {{{

   -c, --config=DIR    use DIR for config files

   -h, --help          display this help and exit
   -m, --multiple      allow multiple instances
   -n, --nologin       don't automatically login
   -l, --login[=NAME]  enable specified account(s) (optional argument NAME
                       specifies account(s) to use, separated by commas.
                       Without this only the first account will be
 enabled).
   -v, --version       display the current version and exit

 }}}


 Anyone know how to rectify this?  Anyone have a clue as to why I don't
 have those registry keys?  I'm logged into a domain, but the account I'm
 logged in as is a local computer administrator.

 Thanks
