I download the client and GTK separately, install GTK first, then Bonjour and finally the client.

<package
    id="pidgin"
    name="Pidgin 2.3.1"
    revision="4"
    reboot="false"
    priority="1">
    <depends package-id="gtk"/>
    <check type="file" condition="versionequalto" path="%programfiles%\pidgin\pidgin.exe" value="2.3.1.0" />
    <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\pidgin\bonjoursetup.exe" /qn ' >
       <exit code="11728" />
    </install>
    <install cmd='cmd /C taskkill /F /IM pidgin.exe' >
       <exit code='1' />
       <exit code='128' />  
    </install>  
    <install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\pidgin\pidgin-2.3.1-no-gtk.exe" /L=1033 /S' />
    <remove cmd='"%ProgramFiles%\pidgin\pidgin-uninst.exe"/L=1033 /S' />
</package>

If you want to set pidgins' language other than english, "/L=" to your countrys' LCID.
