comtypes interfaces for ActiveVoice.ActiveVoice not included in official binary builds

[allan]

each time change sinthesizer from eSpeak to SAPI4 Active Voice, or start NVDA with SAPI4 Active Voice driver, this python screen will pop-up:

# Generating comtypes.gen._EEE78583_FE22_11D0_8BEF_0060081841DE_0_1_0
# Generating comtypes.gen.ACTIVEVOICEPROJECTLib

allan: I assume you are using a binary build from nvda-project.org? If you are running from source, this should not occur.

I investigated this and it seems we are in fact generating the comtypes interfaces for ActiveVoice.ActiveVoice in generate.py. However, the machine on which the snapshots are built does not have the SAPI 4 runtime installed, so the interfaces can't be generated. Installing the SAPI 4 runtime should fix the problem.

Note that these comtypes messages shouldn't ever be displayed to the user anyway. However, a separate ticket should be opened for this.

Btw, there is no need to set the cc to  nvda-dev@lists.nvaccess.org. All tickets are currently always sent there anyway.

I have now installed the SAPI 4 runtime on the build machine and registered xvoice.dll. Snapshots from 27 Mar (check the date on the snapshots page) should no longer exhibit this problem. Please test.
