Yes. See http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7431

I think, it is the same problem.
You have no dictionaries and therefor the spell checker cannot find any 
mistakes.

"Tools > Prefs > Language > Spellchecker" in 2.0 has only one option 
"Hunspell". It does not show up Aspell option though I have installed it.

I already have Lyx 1.6.9 installed with aspell. Spell checker works perfectly. 

One problem I have been having ever since I started working with Lyx is that 
unless I installed aspell along with the Lyx installer or Alternative Lyx 
Installer, I was never able to get spell working. In other words, when I 
install aspell and Lyx separately, spell checker does not work whatever 
tweaking I tried. May be I do not know the exact settings. So far, I have not 
found it on the Internet. 

In this case, the Windows installer for Lyx 2.0 rc2 did not prompt me to 
install aspell, unlike Lyx 1.6.9 installer. 

I have seen similar issues raised by others on the Internet. Am I doing 
something not right or is it a bug with Windows version of Lyx?

Thanks for your time.
Ganesh
