abiword-setup-2.4.0 should work without a network connection. However,
the Equation Editor in the tools plugins and the GLIB-based
import/export plugins require a network connection to download those files.
You did choose correctly - the most recent versions in the dependencies
folder are required for 2.4. libxml2-2.4.12-bin.zip was used for the
2.2 series. (From memory, you need libxml2, glib, libiconv/gettext for
these plugins, as well as libgsf for the import/export ones and
libmathview for the equation editor. If you lack the proper
dependencies, you will probably get a warning on startup saying that a
shared library could not be found.)
A bug has been filed to provide an offline installation method - feel

Thanks for using AbiWord!
