Yes, all that side is fine. I just can't find Aspell itself. Also my
Spellchecker preferences are stuck on ispell - which perhaps is the
problem?

No. The Windows version is hard-coded to use Aspell. In the
preferences menu, the option to specify a spell-checker is disabled (and
shows ispell for some odd reason), but what it says is irrelevant --
Aspell will be used. The path (C:\Aspell) is also hard-coded.
I'm pretty sure the AspellData archive contains just the files necessary
to update an existing installation of Aspell so that the newest release
of 1.3.7, and the releases of 1.4.x, can use it. Did you have Aspell
installed before you installed the two archives you downloaded from the
wiki upload area? If not, grab the version 0.50 installer from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/w32 and install that. (They apparently
don't have a Windows installer for 0.60 yet.)
