MS Agent TTS engine no longer available?

[bilojax]

I need to download the Lernout & Hauspie TTS engine for MS Agent. I've found a dozen or more references to this location:

http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/agent2/tv_enua.exe

but when I try it I get a 404 error.

I've seen stuff about microsoft planning to discontinue support for MS Agent, but surely they wouldn't take down all the existing stuff, this early.

I also saw a reference in a search to firewalls causing 404 errors. I have McAfee firewall running, but I tried doing the disable thing (if I did it right) and still get 404.

Any help would be appreciatd.

That link gives me the download page with Run/Save options. Must be something with your firewall.

I did find this

[Microsoft Agent is deprecated as of Windows 7, and may be unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows.]

MS talks about alternatives here

So it does exist, thanks. I'll work on getting around my firewall.
