When you try to install a program that uses InstallShield on Windows XP, you receive:
The install Shield engine 'ikernel.exe' could not be launched - Error loading type library / dll.
This error will occur if any of the following files are NOT located in the %SystemRoot%System32 folder:
Stdole32.tlb
Stdole2.tlb
Stdole.tlb
To fix this problem, expand the files from the Windows XP CD-ROM, by opening a CMD.exeprompt and typing:
CD /d C:
Expand I386stdole32.tl_ %SystemRoot%System32
Expand I386stdole2.tl_ %SystemRoot%System32
Expand I386stdole.tl_ %SystemRoot%System32
