fix

This issue is resolved version 3.1.5.  https://www.netiq.com/f/support/VigilentUpdates.asp?PagePath=%2Fsupport%2Fvpc%2Fextended%2Fhotfixes%2Easp&id=511 

Workaround for version 3.1.3:

1. Deploy the detect.xml rule file from the Detect interface Rule, Deploy which will copy the rule file from the Detect directory to rinstall |Detect Rules File.

OR

2. Manually copy the rules file from Detect's rule directory Program Files |Pentasafe | WINDetect |rules into the ...rinstall |Detect Rules File directory and then remotely deploy.
