Hi, Paul. Hi, Stephen.
Does it really "bomb" or are you just missing a dictionary? If so, try
grabbing one from http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6
-----------------------------------------------------
Also I had to manually copy the contents of C:\aspell6\aspell-0.60.4\data
into C:\Aspell\lib\aspell-0.60; as other folders/places didn't seem to
work.
I reported the situation in an earlier post in this thread.
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg87191.html
Here are some of the files to identify those I mean:
13,939 iso-8859-15.cset , 30,800 iso-8859-16.cmap
14,284 iso-8859-16.cset , 31,270 iso-8859-2.cmap
31,434 koi8-r.cmap, 13,399 koi8-r.cset 31, 576 koi8-u.cmap
I'll have a go at the installation with a newly minted dict.

The installer offered the correct default folder for installation.
However, I encountered the same problem as before, there
are missing files. "The spellchecker could not be started,
the file "c:/Aspell/lib/aspell-0-60/iso-8859-1.cset can not be
opened for reading."
If you just copy iso-8859-1.cset to c:/Aspell/lib/aspell-0.60
then the next error message reports another file can't be found.
So I just copied all 57 files into c:/Aspell/lib/aspell-0.60 and that
fixes the error message generated by using the install .exe The
missing files started (for me) here: C:\aspell6\aspell-0.60.4\data
I'm not so sure that the new dict.exe's are consistently named
with ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/en/ (a minor point)
aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2 vs. aspell5-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2 (5 vs. 6)
Your nomenclature uses: aspell6-en-6.0-0.exe (1140kB)
Did you use aspell5-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2 (or aspell6) for the build?
I can see you invested quite a bit of time in this venture,
Stephen
