We don't use aspell.exe. We link aspell.lib statically into lyx.exe. It's perfectly possible to install (and use) the dictionaries without installing aspell.exe.
Then I don't really understand why Windows users should install their dictionaries in C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60. It is very unlikely that any other Windows application would share Aspell dictionaries with LyX in that specific place.
If this hard-coded path is changed so LyX will look inside Resources\lyx\dictionaries instead, all problems are solved and we can create a nice installer that detects where LyX is installed and puts the dictionaries in the right place.
What do you think about it? Joost
