UPDATE, 9-27-2017: I regret to inform everyone that I recently received a DMCA claim from Microsoft on the installer for the Windows XP voices, so both of these downloads are currently unavailable. Unfortunately, I have no predicted date for when they will come back online, or if they ever will. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I already posted this on EightForums, but I figured I'd share it here as well. Have you ever wanted to use the old text-to-speech voices (such as Microsoft Sam) natively on newer versions of Windows? Well now you can! I've put together an installer that will give you the text-to-speech voices from Windows XP: Download the Windows XP Text to Speech Voices Setup v1.3 (CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE)This installer includes Microsoft Sam, Microsoft Mike & Microsoft Mary; all working perfectly on Windows Vista and newer. And speaking of Vista, I also created an installer for Microsoft Anna on Windows 8 and newer: Download the Windows 7 Text to Speech Voices Setup v1.1 (CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE)This installer also includes the Chinese voice, Microsoft Lili, but she doesn't seem to be working for whatever reason. I'll update when I get her to work. EDIT: Lili should now work in v1.1 I also plan on doing the Lernout & Hauspie voices once I figure out how to get them to work (though chances are they'll only work with 32-bit software, due to the Lernout & Hauspie TTS engine never being made for x64). Enjoy!

So I downloaded the Microsoft Sam package, and I gotta ask: Is it supposed to be a .nsi? I thought it was supposed to be a .msi file extension?

Wait, did I upload the wrong file? Shoot, it's supposed to be in EXE format. The NSI is the source file. My mistake.
The link has been updated. It should now be an EXE download.

It's funny you get a DMCA for this, but someone has something similar on Youtube that does the same thing, and they are able to avoid MS' legal wrath. MS are funny.
I won't link to it, but it's easily searchable.
