How the Dr. Watson Plug-In Works

The coexistence utility runs the Dr. Watson plug-in to scan the computer for Dr. Watson executables at the end of a CA Access Control installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

• Queries the following pathname for existence:

  %windir%\system32\drwtsn32.exe
  

  If the file exists, the plug-in creates a SPECIALPGM resource of type DCM.

  This is the default action as defined in the response file.

Note: The response file determines the default action that the coexistence utility performs at prescribed stages (what to do before CA Access Control installation, after CA Access Control installation, and so on).
