can't install spell-check

Post by genpic »

I am still unable to install English spellcheck into my second (portable) instance of Atlantis, although it's registered instance. I need some help in resolving this.

It would be helpful to have some details. How did you try to install it?

The goal was to propagate Atlantis from my old PC. I purchased a second license for the new PC. When I used the portable version to install, I found that the English dictionary was not installed. Though I forget the details now, I downloaded the dictionary and placed in the Atlantis folder structure, but it goes unrecognized.

The spellchecker dictionaries are not directly available for downloading through the site pages. There are the spellchecker setup files for individual languages. You can run them to install the corresponding spellcheckers.

If you have a portable copy, you are not supposed to transfer its arbitrary components. You can simply copy the entire portable copy to your new PC. No additional steps are needed. You can find details here:

For the record, following your instructions did not resolve the issue.
I was forced to uninstall Atlantis and I was afraid I would lose the registration if I reinstalled.
However, I downloaded the update, and it installed as registered, and then the dictionary was finally recognized.
