Kaspersky Administration Kit "MMC cannot open the file C:\Program Files\Kaspersky\..."

When I try to launch the Kaspersky Administration Kit interface, I get an error message starting that:

MMC cannot open the file C:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Administration Kit\CS Admin kit.msc

This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file".

Solution:
  • Locate the file "CS Admin Kit", and Delete it.
"CS Admin Kit" is located in:

 For Windows XP open: C:\Documents and Settings\AdminUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MMC\CS Admin Kit.

For Windows 7 and Server 2008 open: C:\Users\AdminUser\Application Data\Microsoft\MMC\Cs Admin Kit.

Note: Remplace the "AdminUser" with the user name you are using.

Now you are ready to open Kaspersky Administration Kit; enjoy it :)
