Comment:

 Aha. It is actually a different problem.

 Your Path is being honored, but you're running into a DLL Hell problem.

 If you search for `libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll` (or possibly for `libgtk-
 win32-2.0-0.dll`) I bet you'll find multiple instances.

 Pidgin is using a different version than the one you want it to because it
 is earlier in the path.

 If you had the previous global installer provided by Pidgin installed and
 it is still present, that could be the problem because the old installer
 added that to the AppPath for Pidgin.
