There haven't been any other reports of this, so my guess is that
there must be an issue that happened when you downloaded it (and
possibly you keep getting it from your cache instead of redownloading
it).
I'd recommend clearing your browser cache, then downloading the file
again from a different sourceforge mirror:
https://sourceforge.net/settings/mirror_choices?projectname=pidgin&filename=Pidgin/2.10.6/pidgin-2.10.6-offline.exe

One should check the MD5 or SHA1 hash after down loading any
Windows binary;

Carrie,
I can't, and even if I could I would not do that. Instead of
top-posting to my mail, you should read the bottom lines of any mail of
the list where it says... see below.

HIH (I do not give up hope)
