Windows installer issue, after uninstalling v10.51

Windows installer issue, after uninstalling v10.51

I'm trying to repair Opera 963 installation via programs and features in Windows 7. I use this particular version for voice as I am partially sighted and have concentration issues eased by text-to-speech programs.Opera 9.63 has the most confident/realistic text-to-speech implementation opera/IBM have ever did, with confidence 10, the maximum, in settings available.

But after removing Opera 10.1 and Opera 10.51, which I was using for test purposes on the same partition but in different folders, I have somehow corrupted version 9.63 which I now want to repair,and use exclusively or with version 10.1 as it has a basic voice capability as well. if you're not aware version 10.50 onwards doesn't support voice and it seems it is unlikely to ever do so according to other threads.

but I keep on getting this Windows installer pop-up error message, see image below:



Can anybody help me with this particular issue as I would prefer to do a repair rather than a reinstall for obvious reasons of convenience and not to break the functionality of voice, it is a very temperamental feature that has been working for years until now.

Any help appreciated

Are you sure? I've not tried using it, but I'm able to get this in Tools > Settings > Advanced (in 10.51):

That looks like at least claiming to support voice . . .

I really didn't want to get into the, "voiced installation broken", all you have to do is a quick search to see what I mean. However here is a specific thread entitled, "Opera Voice may be gone for good ! It may be Dropped as a feature in future versions Opera browser" , just follow the link.
