I just went through this last night while installing SatPC32 on a Windows 10 computer. As described in the SatPC32 FAQ:
*k. Ole error 8004503A……* The SatPC32 voice feature requires the Microsoft Speech SDK (SAPI 5.1) to be installed on the PC. If it is missing you will get the aforementioned error message. The software can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft web site: http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/tts.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/tts.mspxSee also: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5e86ec97-40a7-453f-...
Note that the first link is no longer active.
The second link is. However, after you click the download button, a number of different files are listed for downloading. I downloaded and installed the SpeechSDK51.exe file.
The description for it is:
If you want to download sample code, documentation, SAPI, and the U.S. English Speech engines for development purposes, download the Speech SDK 5.1 file (SpeechSDK51.exe).
There are other options available. I was tempted to try the:
* If you want to redistribute the Speech API and/or the Speech engines to integrate and ship as a part of your product, download the Speech 5.1 SDK Redistributables file (SpeechSDK51MSM.exe).
option, but didn't. Perhaps Eric can clarify which is more appropriate.
I was doing all this via a remote desktop connection to the PC and all appeared correct, but when I ran it directly on the computer, I got the Ole error 8004503A..... error. I then found out I had to plug in a headset to the audio out connector on the PC to eliminate the error. Apparently my remote desktop connection "Remote Audio" enabled was enough for the SDK to run correctly.
While installing via remote desktop, I also had to provide a path to the satellite group and Kepler files for some reason in the applications roaming directory. I was prompted for this via German language pop up windows. This issue is unrelated to the Ole error.

Bob, as Alan asked already: What is the number of the OLE error? The only one of these kind of errors I heard about is Ole error 800453A, see FAQs file fig. 5k. Under Windows 7 and later the message appears if no speakers or headphones are plugged into the computer. 73s, Erich, DK1TB
