So I removed the mod and ran the installer twice, with the same effect (the very definition of insanity).
No big deal. The I though about the fact that I renamed the BSAopt x32.exe to BSAopt x64.exe. I did this because the x64 version does not seem to run when you have a newer copy of MS Visual C+ Redistributable (mine was 2013, and the installer wants 2012). MS won't let you install both. So I REMOVED the 2013 version, installed the 2012 64 bit version and popped back in the true BASopt x64.exe file and ran the install. Bingo... worked like a charm. All voices and lip synchs are back.
