I bought a HP All-in-One and I had serious problems installing it. After hours on the phone with HP tech support walking me through a billion steps ( permission changes, ect) I finally got it to install. Ever since I haven't been able to install anything. I always get the following error: The Installshield Engine (ikernel.exe)could not be launched. No such interface supported.
This happens even when trying to install an ikernel driver update & windows updates.
How do I fix this?

Thanks In advance!!

Rayne

run the system file checker from start run
hit start > run
and type sfc /scannow
make sure there is a space between sfc and /
hopefully that will replace any windows files that are missing

Thanks for the suggestion! I just ran it but it didn't help - I still get the same error. Any other ideas?
