Have they found a solution to this problem? My WS was working fine for several weeks. The only way I could get into was if I rebooted and launched WS before Kaspersky's services started. I get the same thing, and it dies at 22% of launch having something to do with PolicyManager of UPS. Hope this helps those guys, it was driving me nuts!
Here is a copy of the UPS syslog:
