The platform is started by the kernel mode driver component (“msndsrv.sys” on Windows 2000 or above and “mssvc32.vxd” on Windows 9x). The driver then waits for the system to start and initiates execution of the user-mode loader “mscfg32.exe”. The loader then starts the platform’s central module (an orchestrator) from the “mscfg32.dll” module. Additional drivers and libraries may be loaded by different components of the platform, either built-in or auxiliary.
