SAPI 5.3 on XP Post Reply

Hi,

I'm working with System.Speech on Visual Studio 2008 (VB.NET) in XP and keep
running into

"A first chance exception of type 'System.NotSupportedException' occurred
in System.Speech.dll"

because

"This semantic interpretation type 'tag-format' is not supported with this
version of the speech platform."

'tag-format' which defines the semantic interpretation is not supported in
SAPI 5.1 but it is in 5.3 which was only available on Vista. Then I ran
across this site:



which says "The Windows SDK completely replaces the older SAPI 5.1 SDK and
supports development on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and
Windows Server 2008."

I downloaded this and installed it. However I kept getting the same error. I
checked the SAPI dll but it hadn't been updated to 5.3. I am totally aware
that 5.3 came only with Vista and that noone planned on it being released
separately for lower platforms. Have I made wrong assumption in thinking this
download that was linked in that MSDN blog was an upgrade for lower platforms
from 5.1 to 5.3?
