@Mark, My testing was done on Windows 8 64-bit . As you can see in the below linked screenshot, a *Program Files\ *as well as as *Program Files (x86)\*directory was created.
The two items listed in your control panel sound accurate with mine. They have different names, but one uninstalls the 32-bit, the other uninstalls the 64-bit. http://i.imgur.com/oHhBfuP.png This should be pretty trivial. I also assume you've completely closed Pidgin and restarted it (via Tray Icon) to no avail. Perhaps someone else on the list can confirm it work with Windows 7 64-bit, since our OSs are different. -Tres - [email protected] On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 12:00 PM, Mark A.
