I took the liberty to answer to lyx-users, lyx-announce does not seem appropriate here. I have the same problem (maybe the download site changed and the installer is not up to date ?). Anyway you may download the dictionaries from here http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6 and install manually. >> >>I have Aspell installed in C:\Aspell. LyX1.4.1 works with no problems. >> This is suprising, as lyx-1.4.1 and lyx-1.4.2 sould share the same Aspell6 dictionaries ? -- Jean-Pierre
