Hello,

 

When trying to install the Auto correct English US feature via the Pidgin
installer for Windows it gives an error message that the file can't be
downloaded.

When trying to download the Zip file via the link displayed in the error
message, it goes to a page that says "This project is discontinued
12-Feb-2021".

Please see attached image for more details.

When going to the second link provided by the error message it redirects me
to OpenOffice extensions files which are .dat files.

Can the installer be updated to remove the spell check option or update the
link it is supposed to install the libraries?

Can the Developer Wiki site be updated to reflect the changes?

 

Thank you
