You don't need KDE to use aspell. If you want to be sure that there are no KDE dependencies, you can also download aspell from http://aspell.ne= t/win32/ > but most of the paths in this file refer to glunix directory structure If aspell.exe is in your PATH, Emacs will find it. But on Windows, it is conventional for installers to not put executables in the PATH, or even to set PATH to include the directory they install to. Unfortunately many installers for ports of GNU tools also follow this convention, even though GNU tools are designed to collaborate together, rather than be used as a monolithic application, so it may be necessary to customize ispell-program to the full path of aspell.exe.
