Installer autodetects wrong folder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

not sure if this is reproduceable...

Pidgin is installed in M:\Programme\Pidgin. (Windows XP Prof 32bit)
PPP was also already installed.

I downloaded the latest PPP installer (pidgin-privacy-please-0.6.4.exe).

When starting, it prompted me to install the plugin to 
M:\Programme\Pidgin\plugins - this seemed reasonable to me, so I agreed.
Installation failed, because it tried to install in 
M:\Programme\Pidgin\plugins\plugins etc

I deleted the additional "plugins" folder and restarted installation, this time 
manually correcting the path to M:\Programme\Pidgin, which succeeded.

Anyway, when I now start the installer again, the correct path is shown!
So I don't know if it's a bug at all, but in case someone else faces this 
problem, it's documented right now. ;-)

Hey

Hmm, did you have an older version of the plugin installed before?

Ah, maybe I should actually read your whole report :)

I think I know what the problem is and I'll try to fix it ASAP. Thanks for 
reporting!

Ok, fixed. The new "mark II" installer should work fine even when upgrading 
from an older version.
