The coexistence utility runs the Dr. Watson plug-in to scan the computer for Dr. Watson executables at the end of a Privileged Identity Manager 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.
The response file determines the default action that the coexistence utility performs at prescribed stages (what to do before Privileged Identity Manager installation, after Privileged Identity Manager installation, and so on).
