[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Spellcheck on Windows: The Enchant library couldn't be initialized (unknown error(maybe the chosen language is not available)) (#939)

[Samuel Hawarden]

The steps where listed basically chronologically.

I first attempted to follow the instructions posted at https://plugins.geany.org/spellcheck.html#configuring-custom-dictionaries resulting in the "Directory to look for..." being set, as described, to `C:\dictionaries\hunspell`

The Enchant version in use currently is:
`22:40:50: SpellCheck DEBUG	: Initializing Enchant library version 2.2.5`

Without the enchant_1.5.0-2_win32.zip it shows up as...
`23:05:00: SpellCheck DEBUG	: Initializing Enchant library version 2.2.5`

The same error persists with a fresh install all around.

The full load log:
