Please reply to the list as well.
That's because you didn't follow the instructions exactly. You need to
use the Download button in the top bar, then click on Windows, and use
that download (it'll say "pidgin-2.7.0-offline.exe" as a filename)
instead of the standard download you get when clicking on download on
the main page. The main page download will still take you to the online
installer that is currently not working.

No matter how many times I download the installer, I get the same
"Error downloading the GTK+ Runtime" message. Could there be something
wrong with the file provided on the website?

That URL is
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/Pidgin/pidgin-2.7.0-offline.exe
you can click it here in the mail too (generally you should not click links
in email messages you get from strrangers;-) ).
Run that installer and you should be all set.

As soon as I installed 2.7, I got an error message saying that
the GTK could not be installed. When I tried canceling, the
installation continued anyway. Now, whenever I try to run Pidgin,
I get two messages back-to-back: the first says that
libatk-1.0-0.dll cannot be found, then that the GTK was not
installed correctly.
Help!
