Install Shield Error

'm trying to install software that allows me to download the info in my
blood glucose monitor to my computer, but I keep getting this error message:

“The InstallShield engine (ikernel.exe) could not be launched. Library not
registered.â€

I've tried the supposed fix in the article at this link:

I sucessfuly expanded the files stdole.tlb and stdole32.tlb from the
WindowsXP CD, but I'm having a problem with stdole2.tlb. When I try to
expand that file into the Windows\System32 folder I get the message: "Can't
open input file: d:\i386\stdole2.tl_".

The file stdole2.tl exists on the WindowsXP CD but, thinking that version
might be corrupt, I downloaded the file stdole2.tlb from the internet and
copied it into my Windows\System32 folder. Then I tried the installation
again and got the same error: “The InstallShield engine (ikernel.exe) could
not be launched. Library not registered.†Does anyone have a solution to
this error?

This worked on my XP machine just now:

Run iKernel.exe manually. It is located at C:\Program Files\Common
Files\InstallShield\Engine\6\Intel 32.
1. Go to that directory from CMD window and run IKernal.exe.
2. Start setup.exe of the software you are trying to install.

That should do it.
