Thank you for the reply Ian. I checked the registry and the pidgin key is available here HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pidgin And the (Default) key is set to the location of the pidgin installation - C:\Users\username\program files\Pidgin
The HKLM (which IIRC) was the location for the earlier installations doesn't seem to have the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\pidgin - doesn't exist. I am not sure if this is something the pidgin folks changed recently. Should I create an entry in HKLM\Software\pidgin identical to the one in HKCU\Software\pidgin ? Would that be enough to install the plugin ?
