Installer won't let me install on forks

Description (last modified by datallah) (diff)

The installer seems to verify the existence of pidgin in the directory I select. I'm not sure HOW it verifies this, however, I can't install the plugin in a pidgin fork(specifically, in "Carrier"). Maybe there should be a warning so I can "install anyway" if pidgin is not detected (or a checkbox so as not to verify)

The installer is looking for pidgin.exe to make sure it is in the right place.

If you create a dummy pidgin.exe file in the right place, installation should succeed.

I'm not inclined to make any changes to the installer for this, but would accept a reasonable patch.
