32 bit machines use ES Server.exe. 64 bit machines use ES Server64.exe. Put the
appropriate version of ES Sever(64).exe on the target Primary Host computer. Both *.cfg
files are identical. ES Sever(64).cfg has to be the same name as ES Server(64).exe.
ES Server(64).exe will load and rename the *.cfg file to *.ini file. A new *.cfg is installed
by placing it on the primary host beside ES Server(64).exe. ES Server(64).exe does not
need to be shut down; just drop the new *.cfg file and wait at most 3 seconds. The old
*.ini file will be deleted, and the new *.cfg file will be loaded into ES Server(64).exe and
renamed to *.ini. The hash list of all infected thumb drives is stored in the *.ini file, so
deleting this file will allow ES Server(64).exe to infect thumb drives it has already
infected.
