NVDA cannot load SAPI5

[nvaccessAuto]

Reported by parham on 2011-06-22 07:36
When I try to switch to SAPI5, I get an error sound and then a message saying that the synthesizer couldn't be loaded. Here's the traceback:

ERROR - synthDriverHandler.setSynth (12:05:03):

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "synthDriverHandler.pyc", line 79, in setSynth

What are you running, snap or release or beta, and are you running from source perhaps?

I cannot get this error in xp running latest snapshot build 87 andso I think more info is needed to see what is going on here.

Not sure why, but it seems as though this nvda.ini was missing the voice setting for sapi5.
Protected against this in 1b89be8.
