hello all, I'm having trouble with install shield based installs in cedega. I keep getting the error "the Installshield Engine (iKernel.exe) could not be launched". I've read that removing cedega and re-installing can help, but I don't want to reinstall the games I've already installed. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

In my scenario, with the same error, it turns out that "ikernel.exe" was being extracted to a "c:\__temp" folder as "ikernel.ex_" but apparently missed being renamed to "ikernel.exe".

Please note: For you, the folder may be named something different, and located elsewhere, it may be specific to the desires of the person who configured the install program.

I went into the "c:\__temp" folder *while the install is running* (because otherwise the file isn't there at all) and copied it. I renamed the copy to "ikernel.exe" and restarted the install. The copied and correctly named version is "sticky" in that it's origin is not by the installer directly, but by way of your own tinkering. This will prevent the installer from deleting the "c:\__temp" folder, so you must do that manually if you care. This worked for me.
