How the Services and Controller Plug-In Works

The coexistence utility runs the Services and Controller plug-in to scan the computer for the Windows services management executable at the end of a CA ControlMinder installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:

1. Checks if the operating system version is Windows Vista or later

   If the OS is of an earlier Windows version, the plug-in terminates.

2. Creates the following SPECIALPGM resource of type KILL:

   %windir%\system32\services.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 ControlMinder installation, after CA ControlMinder installation, and so on).
