Viavoice on windows 10?

[Mazz]

So, I've recently upgraded to windows 10. I'm having no problems with the actual game, everything is working smoothly, running as an admin, petza installed and everything.
However, I can't get viavoice to work no matter what it seems and it's very frustrating. Whenever I try to run the setup.exe ...nothing happens. I've tried running it in a myriad of comparability modes but that doesn't fix the issue either. I even went as far to copy the viavoice folder from a computer I could get it to install on, and that didn't work either!
So, is it a lost cause? Anyone else got viavoice to work for windows 10? thank you.

have you tried carolyn's viavoice fix?

[Mazz]

Yes, unfortunately the setup.exe wouldn't run on that one either

Trisha had this. She ended up resetting to windows 7 I think. :/

Hm, so it's looking pretty hopeless. :/ No big deal though, really! the game itself still works fine. I suppose I'll just have to cart my babyz over to my windows 98 virtual machine for photoshoots Kind of a pain, but still. Thanks guys!

I did it somehow and it's really hard to explain and I still don't have a clue really but it involves having a physical disc so I don't know how possible that could be for you.

My game was being a bit of an idiot while downloading it because I missed a few things while transferring it so I had to physically redownload.

What I did was got to the little screen that pops up giving you 4 options and the top one is to run the download for babyz and after that it just kinda gave up. Only do it once because it is actually working you just can't see it. 

So I took my disk out and left it for an hour + before finally getting a pop up about needing to put my disc in and downloading babyz and then re-downloaded it that way. I then got the option to download via voice too, make sure you download both babyz and viavoice to your documents if possible!

I personally can't play my game through administrator and find more problems from doing it that way, I have to have it off otherwise I get a debug and viavoice doesn't work at all

Here's the bit I don't understand though, every time I want to play babyz especially with viavoice I have to have the disc in, I took the disc out to download it on my brothers computer and my game refused to let me use voice recognition until I put it back in so could that possibly be a problem?

I don't know if that helped you in any way at all but... yeah haha

Just going off what Aleisha said. There's a way to create a fake drive and make the computer think the disc exists even if it doesn't. I don't know how to do it. But this is how my husband always fixed my game on Windows 8.

this sounds like something you would do with a program like daemon tools lite, where it will create a virtual drive as long as you have an .iso file to mount (that will then act like a cd) c:

Yes I believe that program is on our pc.

Hello! I am having problems getting viavoice to work on windows 7... I found this and hoped someone would know what I should do! I downloaded V5.3 and it's still saying viavoice was not found when I start the game. thanks!
