This is what I do after every install:
- Open Writer, go to File > Wizards > Install new dictionaries
- Install the Dutch spelling checker dictionary and the hyphenation dictionary
- Restart OOo (I didn't install the quicklaunch app)
- Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages
- User interface: Default
  Locale setting: Dutch
  Default currency: EUR € Dutch
- Default languages for documents. Western: Dutch (it has the 'ABC' logo in front of it).

Even after restarting OOo and my computer the Dutch spell check doesn't recognise any of the words typed. It will only work after I manually unzip the dictionary files in the OpenOffice\share\dict\ooo folder.

Just before OOo 2 will get a RC I need to mention a problem which I have since I started using OOo 2 snapshots.

I always install the English version of OOo 2 but want to add the Dutch dictionary. I do this by using the wizard. The installation goes fine, but the dictionary isn't working.

The problem is that the wizard downloads the dictionary files as ZIP files. It updates the dict.list file correctly, and OOo does see the Dutch dictionary is installed, but it doesn't recognise any of the words

Have you selected you language in Tools/options/languajes ? Because I'm 
following your process with every snapshot of oo2 and I don't have any problem.

PS:After changing oo2 language options you need to restart oo to take efect (not sure if it is always needed..) - ---- - --
