Some of you may have seen my recent post and video on the cortana/pandorabot and would have heard the completely horrible TTS voice. This morning I installed a Cereproc voice (Giles) on that PC but got the problem that ARC does see it, but will not actually load the Giles TTS and the awful (slow) Hazel voice continues.
I have followed Steve G great tutorial hoping this would allow me to start using Giles, but the problem is that the 4 files Steve suggests to delete, cannot now be deleted and a TrustedInstaller note appears which stops the delete. This must be something that has occurred in the latest win10 software upgrade (anniversary edition)?
Can anyone advise how to get around this? Thanks.

@Toymaker,
I wonder if the reason I can't get Cepstral Lawrence to work in Cortana is that it is a UK voice and I am in the US with US settings. I can get it to work in the two apps I listed above.

Good to hear it worked out for you Toymaker. I was wondering if you were to uninstall then reinstall the UK speech engine would that correct it since 2 engines are now loaded.
@thetechguru I don't have ARC on a 10 machine, but I do use UK hazel with US Settings/ Region on a different machine. Cortana's voice is UK when testing it. Maybe adding the stock UK English engine will get Cepstral Lawrence working.
@Madrocker, I may try that just to experiment. I am not actually as concerned about Cortana as getting it working correctly in ARC. I just found it interesting that Microsoft can't get their own stuff right....
An off topic side comment.... I am very pleased to welcome you to the forum. It is rare for us to get someone who joins, apparently reads all the tutorials and back posts, and starts providing valuable hints and tips so quickly (I see you joined a couple months ago, but your activity seems to be mostly very recent). Your input the past few weeks has been very refreshing.

@thetechguru, Thank you for the greeting. Lurking in the background and reading has helped me Learn quite a bit, though I still have a ways to go. I do enjoy reading the back posts to help me with that process and use to use them as reference points when I'm unsure. This seems like a great community to me so I felt a lil obligated to try and help if I could. That's what makes good communities great in my mind.
