Aliens vs Predator 2 will not launch

Hello,
my problem is that the game will not launch and gives no error about it. Whenever I attempt to launch the game it shows that the computer is attempting to load it, but it just doesn't. There is no indication in the task manager either that it is open/opening. If I attempt to uninstall the game (through control panel) an error pops up stating "The InstallShield Enginer (iKernel.exe) could not be launched. No such interface supported"
I will also mention that this is not my first attempted launch of the game. I was able to play it for a good few hours beforehand (after an MFC application error fixed itself), but one day when I tried launching the game again it would not launch.

What operating system you got m8?
My suggestion would be uninstall avp2 first then use CCleaner to clean out your reg files.

Something clearly isn't right here lol

I run it on Windows 7. I was able to run it for a short time beforehand so I do not think it is a compatibility problem.
I tried uninstalling it before through control panel but it pops up with an error stating "The InstallShield Enginer (iKernel.exe) could not be launched. No such interface supported". It won't allow me to uninstall.
I tried launching the autoruns aswell to attempt to uninstall that way, but even that won't launch.

Hmmm ok well,
this is worth a 'shot'
Launch Windows Explorer by pressing Windows Key + E on your keyboard or select Start > Run and type explorer.
Browse to C:\Program Files \Common Files\InstallShield\engine.
Thats for XP - but should still be the same in windows 7.
Right-click the highlighted engine directory and select Delete.
Install the latest version of the iKernel engine.
Download
iKernel engine update
and save it to your Desktop.
Double-click on ikernelupdate.exe to install.
^----------thats for XP
Try this

You would need the windows 7 latest install engine.

Sorry, I was busy the last few days.
Thankyou for the help. I was able to uninstall the game with your help, and was able to reinstall it properly. If i run into any problems I will let you know.

Haha I actually just got AvP2 fixed just a couple hours ago. I checked the servers but there were zero players at the time.
Thanks again!
