Use the Event Import Wizard

To use the Event Import wizard, the MS OLE DB v19 SQL Database Driver must be installed. The driver has a dependency on both the X86 and X64 versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable v14.34 (and later). Both components must also be installed.

The Privilege Management Policy Editor EXE installer checks if the correct versions of the MS OLE DB driver and VC++ redistributable are already installed. If not, the components are automatically installed by the Privilege Management Policy Editor EXE installer.

Visit the following websites to install these components separately.

For more information, see:

The installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables can require a reboot. Plan the installation accordingly.

  • If using the Privilege Management Policy Editor EXE to install these components: If a reboot is required, there will be one request to reboot at the end of the installation.
  • If installing the X86 and X64 versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables separately: If a reboot is required, there may be a separate reboot request at the end of each of the installations.
