Default the URI Handler checkboxes in the installer appropriately (if pidgin is the current handler or if there is no current handler). Also, don't use the previous Gaim installation directory as the default new directory for Pidgin (perhaps it would be smart to use something like ...\blah\Pidgin if gaim was installed in ...\blah\Gaim, but I'm not sure it is worth the effort).
