If you originally installed the Policy Agent without the Bootloader component, you can install the Bootloader at any time as long as you have access to PowerShell.

To install the Bootloader with PowerShell:

  1. Log into PowerShell on the Windows machine.
  2. Locate the main Policy Agent installation directory. The PowerShell scripts are located in the bin folder under this main directory. The default directory is C:\Program Files\hcs.

  3. Run the PowerShell script InstallHTBootloader.ps1 by entering the command powershell -File "C:\hytrust-install-dir\InstallHTBootloader.ps1" -drive n:, where -drive n is an optional drive letter. If you do not assign a drive letter, the script selects the next available drive letter.

    The PowerShell script should return an exit code of zero. Any other exit code indicates an error, which will print in the log file C:\hytrust-install-dir\InstallhtBootloader.log.

    Example:
    PS C:\users\administrator> powershell -File "C:\Program Files\hcs\bin\InstallHTBootloader.ps1”
