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 ControlMinder 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 ControlMinder installation, after CA ControlMinder installation, and so on).
