AbiWord Portable

If I have a dictionary installed, opening a document creates these files, which are left behind on exit.

%APPDATA%\enchant\
%APPDATA%\enchant\*.dic
%APPDATA%\enchant\*.exc

XP SP2 (Admin)

Openoffice, Abiword and Cornice fail to launch. This situation looks pretty similar to yours.
After I click Abiword icon, the following applications were launched in the background successively.

1, AbiWordPortable.exe
2, C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntvdm.exe -f -i3 -o

And then these application terminate, nothing happen in the foreground.

Info: AbiWord 2.8.2 Online, wait on PortableApps.com Version

Well they aren't at the usual download location as far as I can see. Can anyone direct me to where I could find them?

not sure if this is already noted but ive noticed that my top margins often change from computer to computer and also that my spell check library never carries over. if i set one word to be added to the library on one computer it comes up as wrong on another.

just wanna see if its just me or if anyone else has had this problem

Upon first install AW 2.8.1 on Win XP would not execute. I ran it (the actual program in \bin directory -- not the portable stub) through Dependency Walker and produced the error message:

Error: The Side-by-Side configuration information for "<path>\app\abiword\bin\ABIWORD.EXE" contains errors. This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem (14001).

I installed the latest version of AbiWord Portable for the first time today and discovered it installs the help files for French and Polish even though I selected "English" during the installation. Additionally, a TON of system.profile-* files were installed in the AbiWordPortable\App\AbiSuite2\AbiWord directory for every language it supports. How about only installing the system-profile file that was selected during installation? (ex: system.profile-en)

Please update/fix the installer to only install the required files.

Hi, this may be a strange request but I wish to add bookmarks to my ebooks and I think by converting from PDF to HTML the file becomes smaller??? Maybe this only happens in certain instances, I don't know, I'm no programmer.

Ultimately I'd like an exact copy of my PDF doc's edited to include bookmarks and images but as I can't find a free portable PDF editor I thought perhaps use HTML as an alternative.

According to the plug-in matrix, Abiword's thesaurus should be included in the Tools add-in module. I've installed it, but I can't find the thesaurus anywhere. It's not listed as being included in the install.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm on a WinXP system, SR2.

Thanks.

How is it done portably can anyone say?
