It is true, that I have problems installing your plugin under Vista 64. I am currently using the 64-bit version of ImageMagick and the MiKTeX 2.7 package for the latex.exe. I didn't know that there is a 64bit version of Pidgin? Where can I find it? So I installed ImageMagick, set a symlink (C:\miktexbin\latex.exe) to the latex.exe-Directory (due to blanks in the path) and configured the plugin. I either got an error like "PNG output not found" or Pidgin crashed without any error message. Hey thanks for bothering. It is true, that I have problems installing your plugin under Vista 64.
