Error installing iKernel.exe

Has anybody come across this problem during an application install?

I do have local Admin access and I have installed this application on other machines. Any help would be much appreciated, as Google isn't helping much

I was having an issue trying to install an older windows program using bottles program (flatpak distribution under linux mint). I was able to bypass this setup extraction issue by manually extracting the "packed" installer files and running the setup executable manually.

According to @jntesteves and @moracino on the bottles discord server, you need to take care to use a file extractor that can read .CAB files properly. (File Roller 44.3 from flathub works)

Once you've extracted the installer files, you should be able to run the Setup.exe included in the directory. If you are using bottles or wine, as I was, you should extract it to the steamuser home folder of the bottle. Then, click "Run Executable" to browse and run the executable. In my case it was under /home/$USER/.var/app/com.usebottles.bottles/data/bottles/bottles/Essential-Forms/drive_c/users/steamuser/. I needed to install dependencies of msxml6, msxml4, msxml3 beforehand. Then, after the program installation succeeded, reinstall msxml4 to set the default msxml location to msxml4.

This issue may occur if one or more of the following files are missing from the Windows\System32 folder:

  • Stdole32.tlb
  • Stdole2.tlb
  • Stdole.tlb

To resolve this issue, expand the appropriate file from the Windows Server 2003 Installation disk:

(using the command prompt)

Expand cd_drive_letter:\i386\filename.tl_ drive:\Windows\system32\filename.tlb

and then press ENTER.

  • filename is the name of the file that you want to expand
  • drive is the letter of the drive where Windows is installed
