"Unable to find the file: C:\Windows\Speech\VCMD.exe" or "Speech.dll" is an older file.
Problem:
When attempting to launch Dragon NaturallySpeaking, one of the following errors may appear:

  *   "Unable to find the file: C:\Windows\Speech\VCMD.exe"
  *   "Unable to find the file: C:\WINNT\Speech\VCMD.exe"
  *   "The file C:\WINDOWS\speech\speech.dll is version 4.0.x.xxxx. Naturally Speaking requires version 4.0.4.2512 to run reliably."
  *   "The file SAPIDLL.DLL did not register itself"
Solution:
Please follow these steps to reinstall Microsoft Speech API:

  1.  Click here<http://supportcontent.nuance.com/kbfiles/4280-spchapi.exe> to download the file "spchapi.exe".
  2.  Close out of all open applications running on the system.
  3.  Double-click the file "spchapi.exe" to start the installation.
  4.  Reboot the computer.
You should now be able to launch Dragon NaturallySpeaking without any errors.

Dragon install bugs with version 11

Hi all,
Am looking for anyone who has kept the DNS bug files on DNS 11 + 11.5 installs that have to do with C++ and Visual Basic errors and can forward them on to me.
Thanks so much!
