I had to reinstall Everquest yesterday. Everything was fine, until my computer rebooted while I was reinstalling PoP. Now, whenever I try to install it, it tells me the 'ikernel.exe file cannot be found' because syntax or placement is wrong.
I opened up the PoP installation cd ( you know - right click and open ), and sure enough; the ikernel.exe file, instead of being .exe is seen as '.ex_' . That, of course, prevents me from reinstalling, since it can't be found. I thought it was particular to my cd, so I went to a friend's and borrowed his. No dice, same problem. So it definitely is with my computer.
Now, I tried deleting all the files in the temp and prefetch folder in the windows one, then shutting down my computer and waiting. Still nothing; you guys are my last hope. I've updated ikernel.exe; still nothing. At this point, if there's a way, I'm willing to download the whole expansion from somewhere.
The exact error is 'An installation support file 'C:\Program files\Fichiers communs\Installshield\engine\6\Intel 32\iKernel.exe' could not be installed.
Yes, I've tried http://www.installshield.com... I'm starting to think I never should have 'upgraded' ( /snicker ) to XP.
A desperate Estrosiath...
