 === Is there a way to install Spell-checking support (Aspell) manually? ===
 Yes, if the installer isn't able to successfully download and install Aspell, you can do so manually.  You can download both the Aspell core and a dictionary from [http://aspell.net/win32 the win32 Aspell website].

+=== The installation aborts with the error message "Error Installing GTK+ Runtime" ===
+If you're trying to install Pidgin and the installation aborts with the error message "Error Installing GTK+ runtime", try closing all applications - especially those that are running GTK+ (or might be running it :)) like X-Chat, gimp, etc..
+The last thing the installer log might show when the installation fails for this reason is: "Delete file: ...\Temp\gtk-runtime.exe".
