ispell-library-directory is not supposed to be customized by users,
it's an internal variable set and used by ispell.el. To change the
location of dictionaries, users are supposed to customize
ispell-local-dictionary-alist. Why can't you do that instead?

That's not what I see. What I see is that ispell-library-directory is
set once whenever the ispell process is created, which happens only
once in a session, or when you change your ispell dictionary. So I
think this is completely justified, because the user could install
additional dictionaries before restarting ispell.

I would prefer not to mess with the internal workings of ispell.el, if
possible.
If the suggestions above don't solve your problems, perhaps you could
write a batch file or a script which reported the library directory in
the format that ispell.el expects in a native Windows build of Emacs.
Or maybe you could switch to Hunspell or Aspell, which don't need
ispell-library-directory at all. A native Windows port of Hunspell is
available (and works very well for me).
Thanks.
