Make sure you get the dependencies from abisource.com to prevent version
mismatches (http://www.abisource.com/downloads/dependencies/) and then
extract them to Program Files\AbiSuite2\AbiWord\bin. As for
dictionaries, you can get installers for those here:
http://www.abisource.com/downloads/dictionaries/Windows/.
