Ah - apologies. I thought the issue was getting the voices to function,
not install.

One thought - can you set up a Windows virtual machine? You are still
dealing with a 64-bit hardware architecture, but you can create a 32-bit
Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 version on top of your Windows 7
OS and that might be enough to fake out the TTS voices for installation.

We have a staff member who must run an older version of IE to support a
legacy timesheet system and the solution we implemented was to create a
virtual Windows XP Mode system on her Windows 7 machine. You will need
to have Windows 7 Pro, Enterprise, or Ultimate for it to work. Here is
some information:

Take care,
