Hello,
has anyone been able to set up dictionary and thesaurus on Windows,
along with required tools? Would you share your configuration?
Thanks.

Well, I've found this very useful page:
http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs_lookup_ref.html
Thanks, Xah!
Client written in Emacs Lisp:

Thanks Torsten!
As server, this one works out of the box (Java is required):

Thanks Ho!

There are various solutions described on Emacs Wiki, depending on what you want
(everything within Emacs locally vs Emacs accessing something on the Web, for
instance).
Here is one wiki page that deals with thesauri and has links to related pages:

Here I am again, since I've not been able to setup a dictionary on
Windows.
Does someone care to share his/her configuration?
Thanks

Ah, didn't someone answer you? Please check EmacsWiki first.

Thank you again, Drew.
I should have been more specific. I did check the Wiki following your
previous advice and I managed to setup the whole thing on Linux, but
on Windows I've not been able to setup the 'dict' server. Since on
Linux the package manager took care of installing 'dict' server and
dictionaries, I don't know how to repeat steps on Windows.

After much wrestling with various 'dict' servers, without any success,
I've found an alternative solution which employs WordNet's dictionary.
Warning: it behaves weirdly with Icicles ('icy-mode').
Here we go:
- download WordNet dictionary setup from here:
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/download/
- add binaries folder to exec-path and enviroment PATH (adjust paths
according to your own installation):
(setq exec-path (append exec-path "C:/Programmi/WordNet/2.1/bin"))
(setenv "PATH" (concat "C:\\Programmi\\WordNet\\2.1\\bin" path-
separator (getenv "PATH")))
- download http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/wn-org.el:
(require 'wn-org)
- ready to go: M-x wn-org-search
Cheers
