Why not just use threads? Is there a particular advantage to using IPC in this instance? I'd guess that ikernel.exe is the program that does the installing, and the program you launch does the front end code?
I don't know the full story with IS6: I haven't experimented with that particular bug. But, generally speaking, you can't just fudge threads for processes; if a.exe runs b.exe, and exepects to speak to it via RPC, there's basically no hope of getting around the cross-process nature of the problem.
