InstallShield Engine (ikernel.exe) could not be launched. No such interface supported
Last month I tried to install an anti-virus program which failed, and now I keep getting an error message whenever I try to install something else: "the InstallShield Engine (ikernel.exe) could not be launched. No such interface supported." I'm running Windows XP Professional with service pack 2.
I've been all around InstallShield's/Macrovision's website, tried everything they listed, and still nothing works. I can't install their new ikernel.exe update to replace the old file because again, I can't install anything. They gave me some possible missing files to look for, and they're all here, nothing's missing. I tried the DCOM settings, but those were all fine, too. I cleaned the temp directory, etc. etc. Microsoft sent me here to Dell.
I guess my last option is to wipe the computer and re-install everything, that way InstallShield will be in its original, un-messed-up form. Help!!
