CP6: Error(s) Installing Text-to-Speech Voices on Disconnected Computer

All,

I am trying to install NeoSpeech voices on my machine. With Cp5.5, all I had to do was open the disc and install things from the Add-Ons folder. But with Cp6, I've not been so lucky. According to the help file, I'm supposed to see an option to install add-ons from the main installer screen. I see no such option. It should be noted my development machine cannot be connected to the Internet, not even for a second. It's a federal government-owned box, part of a network used to develop classified software. Cp6 was activated with the request/response code method.

With the easy option a bust (or is it? Did I do something wrong?), we downloaded the installer from Adobe.com, burned it, and brought it over to the development network. We got error U44M2I218, which the sys admin thinks is related to the lack of Internet connectivity. So, that option didn't work either.

In our research of this issue, we came across this article on ITNinja.com: http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/adobe-captivate-6 Should we be following the steps in this procedure? Is this indeed an issue for which Adobe created a solution?

Would the NeoSpeech files that came with 5.5 work with Captivate 6? I'll assume they won't, but hope for the best. It would definitely save me some time. Though I use my own voice for final presentations, the text-to-speech voices are very handy for beta reviews.

Thanks!

Hi there,

You wiill have to download voices for Captivate 6, and the installer for 32 bit and 64 bit captivate are different.

Please check this forum thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1191331

You can download the installer for Neo speech and move that to disconnected system.

Please reply whether that works for you.

Thanks.

Varun, thanks for replying. We've already tried this option, as I mentioned in the second paragraph. That generated an error.
