I have downloaded the abiword204.zip  prerelease available for testing 
with reactos.
I have tested this new abiword version in real hardware  but abiword 
fails to load due to a bugcheck in Win32K.
The bug233 has benn  created for this problem.

Note : As long as abiword is not started by double clicking on 
abiword.exe  ,, the registry was not updated.
