I ran into that yesterday. If you move the error window out of the way, it shows you what file it's having a problem with. In my case it was oleaut32.dll. Here's what I did to fix it...
DISCLAIMER: I'm not sure what kind of ill side effects this has, so if you attempt to try this, I take no responsibility
If you don't understand what the following says, please do not attempt it.
1. Within the loader zip file, there is a file called IFI_Loader.CAB. Open it with WinZip, you'll see that they have a version of oleaut32.dll inside. Copy that to the desktop.
2. Open Windows Explorer and go to your windows system directory, in my case it C:\Windows\system32. In there I found oleaut32.dll and copied it to oleaut32_old.dll
3. Move the oleaut32.dll from the desktop to the windows system directory.
4. Re-run the IFI loader. If it still complains, you might need to restart Windows.
If you run into any strange Windows problems, you may want to try copying the old version of oleaut32.dll back.
