Leveraging an Existing Preconfigured AppSet

For this first Quickstart test and example, we urge you to use the preconfigured Endpoint Policy Manager DLL named pp-WinZip.DLL, which is supplied in the download from the Endpoint Policy Manager Customer Portal.

Step 1 – In order to locate the pp-WinZip.DLL, pull up the directory named Production-PAKS. Inside, you will find the WinZip International LLC WinZip 14 to 17 folder. You should see a file named Winzip 14 to 17.XML and pp-WinZip 14 to 17.dll.

Winzip 14 to 17.XML is the source file and can be opened and manipulated within the Endpoint Policy Manager DesignStudio. You won't be using this file right now.

The compiled file is pp-WinZip 14 to 17.dll, and it can be utilized within the Group Policy Editor using the GPMC.

The compiled DLL needs to be placed onto your Group Policy management machine—the one you use to manage Group Policy with the GPMC.

Step 2 – To get started immediately, all you need to do is copy the pp-WinZip 14 to 17.dll file to the C:\Program Files (x86)\PolicyPak\Extensions folder (on 64-bit machines) or C:\Program Files\PolicyPak\Extensions (on 32-bit machines). You can see how this is done in Figure 1.

NOTE: If you don't see the PolicyPak\Extensions folder, you may not have installed the Endpoint Policy Manager Admin Console.MSI (32-bit or 64-bit). This must be done on the machine where you manage Group Policy, and you must have the GPMC installed.
