Hey Shaun, sorry to hear you're still getting errors.
The problem is with loading the sounds. The code that loads the
sound chooses not to crash and instead just use SAPI to announce it
couldn't load the file, but that is where the real error is.
The error you sent is because the first person code expects the
sounds to get loaded correctly and breaks when they aren't.
Maybe in the next version I will let the original sound loading error
crash the game which will give me the technical error. I've done that
in the past and sometimes it's helpful and plenty of times it still
doesn't make much sense.
It ends up giving a DirectX error if I do that.
Glad it's working on your Windows 7 machine though.
I can't say much about which code the vocal sounds are using as I
didn't record them myself.

Hi ian.
Well I coppied the error dump from the game when I run the game on
my xp system.
It keeps saying sounds in all unit folders are having issues but I
downloaded a fresh coppy and left everything in tact.
on win7 this works fully however on my xp box I get the following dump.
its all coded noncence to me but this is probably what you may find
usefull.
it doesn't look like its much of a sound error at all but a dotnet
event error.
is it because this game uses dotnet 4.5 and or 5.0 code?
if so forget it I will just have to play this game on my updated
laptop its no biggy but if you could fix this then cool as it
basically does load.

OK

from looking at the code junk it sounds like some event loop and
timer conflict but I really don't know I am just guessing.
I do have the latest vc 2012 libs ofcause and v4.0 of dotnet but
not anything later on xp on my 7 system I have everything else, but
I guess its just one of those things, bound to happen that newer
games won't work so well though tactical battle works.
