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
Thanks for this report, Stephen. Joost are you reading?
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 used aspell6-en-6.0.0.tar.bz2.
I can see you invested quite a bit of time in this venture, Stephen
I wrote a shell script. Joost Verberg wrote the NSIS installer script. Thereafter, the computer did the hard work.
