How can I automate installing the ES-MX language pack and then installing the ES-MX TTS voice (separate download from Language Pack and then setting the TTS Voice to Microsoft Sabina for Spanish-Mexico?
I really only need the Spanish TTS voices to be available to users. We don't want to change the UI or keyboard to Spanish layout.

For Windows 10 for desktop editions (Home, Pro, Enterprise, and Education), language packs have been split into language components and Features On Demand V2 (Capabilities). Have you tried downloading featured on demand V2 pack from VLSC and then applying the text-to-speech package to your image?

I found "Features on Demand" in the VLSC. It is spread over two ISO files of 2718MB and 5563MB for 64-bit Windows 10.
I don't know which to get, so I'm downloading both.
How do you use that to install Spanish TTS voices on Windows 10 Enterprise systems that are already deployed to users?

You still need to install Spanish language pack. So you would install lp.cab first and then add features on demand.
The introductory part of my blog post should fill you on the details: www.vacuumbreather.com/index.php/blog/automation/item/36-add-language-packs-to-mdt-using-powershell

How to download Text-to-Speech languages for Windows

So, there is no option to get only voices then?
I tried downloading a language pack and you get more than just voices. It's too easy to accidentally trip changing the keyboard layout to the alternate language after you install the language pack.

How to download Text-to-Speech languages for Windows

I tried those steps and don't get any option to add a text to speech voice. I tried on multiple computers
I installed the Spanish Mexico language pack. This should include a Spanish voice named "Sabina," but I don't see any option to download or activate voices.
The only option listed is Keyboard.
How do I get the Spanish voice to work on Windows 10 Enterprise Creators Update?

I downloaded the language pack from the VLSC, installed it to an existing system with DISM commands and also tried installing via lpksetup.exe and both install successfully, but do not make the TTS voices available.
Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:\server\share\ES-MX\Microsoft-Windows-Client-Language-Pack_x64_es-mx.cab
It has options to change the keyboard layout to a Spanish keyboard, but no speech options are visible.
Is there some extra command to download the es-mx voices?
There should be a Raul and Sabina voice for Spanish Mexico according to this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/22797/windows-10-narrator-tts-voices.

One ISO (probably the smaller one) is the one you are looking for because the other one simply contains retail demos or UWP apps (can't remember which from the top of my head)
To install the package, run following command in PowerShell:
Add-WindowsPackage –Online –PackagePath %Full Path to your CAB file% -Verbose

I tried that and it failed.

I assume that there may be some missing prerequisites. Start with applying the spanish language pack, then features on demand packages. Here is the order in which I apply FoD packages: Basic, Fonts, OCR, Handwriting", TextToSpeech, Speech

I uninstalled the language pack that came from the separate language pack iso, then installed the basic language pack from the FOD iso, then the TTS component from the FOD installed (or at least the install command ran without displaying an error message.
However, after all that, there still is no option to select any TTS language other than English.
I'm back to where I started from.

I reinstalled everything again and it did't look like it was working because there is still no option to change the Speech language to anything other than English (United States), bit when I looked at the voices, I saw the 2 Spanish voices in the drop down menu.
Is there something else needed to change the speech language option at the top or is that unnecessary?
