Enabling Flyspell-mode gives an error

Question

I recently had to reimage my windows laptop, and emacs is now giving me a strange error: "Starting new Ispell process [default] Enabling flyspell mode gave an error" I have aspell installed, and it is accessible via emacs. I have attached a picture to show this. I also have (setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell") in my emacs configuration. This same configuration works properly on my other windows machines. What might be the problem here?

paprika's comment helped me track the problem - "Did you check if aspell works outside of Emacs, i.e. something like cat foobar.txt |aspell -a -l en?"

Turns out aspell-en had not been installed. my bad.
