WSUS Beta 2 MMC cannot open the file WSUS.MSC

[Matt Carter]

I am on Server 2003 SP1 as domain admin and when I go to start or "finish"
installing, it took me to wsus.msc and I got the error below:

Microsoft Management Console
MMC cannot open the file C:\Program Files\Update
Services\administrationsnapin\wsus.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.

I do not know how to update my MMC if thats the case. I set the permissions
to domain admin's as FULL control and [email protected] (my domain) as
full control (which I am logged on as). I set these permissions on wsus.msc

After I downloaded
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en I was able to open the WSUS.MSC
I needed to get MMC 3.0 to open this, if the software would have offered to
update that software, MMC, it would have been great!

I had this really annoying issue recently and documented the following article whichh is the method I used to solve it.

Perhaps it gets several hundred hits a day or a week or a month from people who are struggling to resolve this issue. At least I have posted some useful information which might actually help someone unlike yourself. Open your mind.

The problem concerned a BETA program which has long since died. You need to
use common sense and open your mind to some current updates. You may also
need to uninstall *your* beta software. You are *still* the king of
techarena illiterate morons!
