    Download it again and click on Win32 installer for pidgin-otr 4.0.1. Don't click on (sig).

    Worth a try...
    You could remove the .sig part from the filename of the file you previously downloaded.

    Sig does not feature in the file name
    Did you try download and open?

    Ok. I had another look at your original post.
    Firstly, the downloaded file's name must be pidgin-otr-4.0.1 and it's about 6.4 MB.
    Secondly, that message seems to indicate that the Windows Installer is missing. Which version of Windows are you running?

    I downloaded the file. I double-clicked it and after 3 windows I got this message - see screenshot #4. I don't have pidgen installed therefore I can't install the plugin. How many messages do you get before the installation fails?

    PS The plugin is for Pidgen, not for Off-the-Record Messaging.
