How the Windows Plug-In Works

The coexistence utility runs the Windows plug-in to scan the computer for Windows services and registry keys at the end of a CA Access Control installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

1. Extracts the directory path of the executable of the service "WinMgmt" (ServicePath)
2. Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type REGISTRY:

   ServicePath
   

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

3. Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type PBF:

   %windir%\System32\cidaemon.exe
   

   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).
