Speech Platform 11

Question

New Windows 2008 64bit server, installed Speech Platform Runtime (x64), 
Speech Text to Speech Voice (en-US, Helen), Speech Recognition Language - TELE (en-US), Visual Studio C# 2010 express

Created a project that just uses only the speech synthesis part of this sample, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh338697.aspx.

I just want a simple synthesis sample to hear/test text to speech. 

Compile and run my sample but it produces the below error

There doesn't seem to be an obvious solution. 


C:\Users\rschuster\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1\bin\Release>ConsoleApplication1.exe 

Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Retrieving the

Hi,

Try to uninstall any speech platform tools on your PC and reinstall the Speech Platform 11 only

That was it. Setting the app properties to any cpu or x64 worked.
