Where Can I Download Microsoft Speech SDK 5.4

Question

I need to develop a simple 64-bit C++ Text to Speech (TTS) program to run on Windows 7 and Vista. My first step is to try to compile the program from SAPI 5.4 tutorial. But I cannot find the required SAPI 5.4 packages on my Windows 7 machine. I searched the Internet and only SAPI 5.1 is available for Windows XP.
Microsoft Speech Technology page claims that “The native-code API for programming the speech engines included in Windows 7.” The SAPI 5.4 tutorial has the following instruction:

Step 1. Setting up the Project:  
…  
Code Listing 1  
Next add the paths to SAPI.h and SAPI.lib files. The paths shown are for a 
standard SAPI SDK install. If the compiler is unable to locate either file, 
or if a nonstandard install was performed, use the new path to the files. 
Change the project settings to reflect the paths. Using the Project->Settings. 
menu item, set the SAPI.h path. Click the C/C++ tab and select Preprocessor 
from the Category drop-down list. Enter the following in the "Additional 
include directories": C:\Program Files\Microsoft Speech SDK 5.4\Include.  


To set the SAPI.lib path:    
1.  Select the Link tab from the Same Settings dialog box.  
2.  Choose Input from the Category drop-down list.  
3.  Add the following path to the "Additional library path": 
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Speech SDK 5.4\Lib\i386.  
4.  Also add "sapi.lib" to the "Object/library modules" line. Be sure that the 
    name is separated by a space.   
…  

The 2 folders from the above instruction do not exist on my Windows 7 PC. I installed Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 but these 2 folders are still not there.
What I should do to get the SAPI 5.4 installed on my Windows 7 machine and compiles the program from the above tutorial?
Thank you very much for your help!

Microsoft Speech SDK 5.4 or SAPI 5.4 is included in the "Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Frameword 4" package. It can be downloaded from Microsoft Download Center. After installed the package, the include file is in "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\include" and the library file is in "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib\x64". There is no need to specify these two location when compile the program. Microsoft's SAPI 5.4 tutorial and some related documents are out of date.
