<p>Key comments that helped me from here : <a href="https://portableapps.com/node/21685" rel="nofollow">https://portableapps.com/node/21685</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>open up the Readme.windows.txt, it will tell you where to get the enchant libraries that are needed. I downloaded enchant_1.5.0-2_win32.zip<br>
Extract the file.<br>
Copy the folder bin, lib and share to GeanyPortable\App\Geany. Windows will warn you about overwriting existing files in the folders. Go ahead and copy it as it won't overwrite anything because there's no other files with the same name to overwrite.</p>
<p>If you try to run it right now, it will complain about not having dictionaries. Let's set those up</p>

</blockquote>
