Installing Bluefish on Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 bit)
Installing 2.0.1 (current stable)
download Bluefish-2.0.1-setup.exe from the main download server http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/
This installer needs internet access because it will download gtk library and the spell checking dictionaries for you.
Installing without internet access
download Bluefish-2.0.1-tagalong.exe from the main download server http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/
Now download the GTK+ installer (gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/GTK%2B%20for%20Windows/2.14.7%20Rev%20A/gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe/download) and whatever language dictionaries (from http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/) you wish to install and place them in a directory called 'redist' in the same folder as the installer. The tagalong install will fall back on downloading the file if it does not exist locally or the checksum of the local file does not match the stored value.
