How to copy voice of HERE Maps into Lumia (WP8.1 only)

Here Maps (Windows Phone 8.1) does not download voice navigation files anymore.

You may need to change permissions of the folder APPDATA: you must set admin account of yout PC as an owner of this folder, after this grant full access permissions to admin account to this folder, copy voice files and at the end change the owner of this folder back to "system"
