[OTR-users] Re: otr not working with pidgin portable 2.4.0

[Adria Gate]

As I can recall I did the same mistake when I tried to install on my USB-stick:

pidgin-otr-3.1.0-1.exe 
(downloaded from source site www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ which is obviously only for non-portable Pidgin versions)
The same warning came to me to: "Failed to find Pidgin installation".

I've found solution in:
Pidgin-OTR_Portable_3.1.paf.exe 
(which is adapted for portable versions of Pidgin). Notice the difference in extension. It appears that all portable versions have "paf.exe".

This is the direct link: 

http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=portableapps&filename=Pidgin-OTR_Portable_3.1.paf.exe&use_mirror=heanet

The best way to download any portable plug-in is here:

http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/pidgin_portable

at one place you can find a new version of Pidgin (Pidgin 2.4.1) and link to Pidgin-OTR_Portable_3.1.paf.exe, but you have to click on "Pidgin-OTR 3.1", and not on (learn more) which leads to OTR source site. 

In my case everything works perfectly. 
Pidgin + OTR = the best instant messaging solution I've ever tried.
