# How To Install Group Policy Editor

Since I started publishing my manual virus removal series lot's of people asked me where about Group Policy Editor.

For example In "[How to remove antivirus XP 2008](http://thecancerus.com/how-to-remove-antivirus-xp-2008/)"  MK asked
> when i go to start run gpedit.msc my computer says windows can not find it ???
So I thought instead of replying to in the comments itself I will post the solution here and refer everyone to this post :)

As I had already mentioned in my first [newfolder.exe virus removal](http://thecancerus.com/how-to-remove-new-folderexe-or-regsvrexr-or-autoruninf-virus/) article you can download the [french version of gpedit.msc from bogdan.org.ua](http://bogdan.org.ua/2007/11/15/windows-xp-he-home-edition-gpedit-msc-group-policy-editing-via-registry.html).

Once you download it you can install it as follows. I am quoting directly from that article itself
> However, here are some short instructions in English for manual MMC snap-in installation (batch file from the archive does everything automatically, but you’ll have to edit-verify the batch file first):
>
> * put these files: (appmgmts.dll, appmgr.dll, fde.dll, fdeploy.dll, gpedit.msc, gpedit.dll, gptext.dll) into %SystemRoot%system32 folder
>
> * put these files: (system.adm, inetres.adm, conf.adm) into %SystemRoot%system32GroupPolicyAdm (create if this folder doesn’t exist)
>
> * finally, run these commands one by one in the CMD window:
>
> regsvr32 gpedit.dll
> regsvr32 fde.dll
> regsvr32 gptext.dll
> regsvr32 appmgr.dll
> regsvr32 fdeploy.dll
>
> That should do it.
You should [read the article at Bogdan](http://bogdan.org.ua/2007/11/15/windows-xp-he-home-edition-gpedit-msc-group-policy-editing-via-registry.html) for more detailed instructions.

As for french, most of the articles that I have written I have attached the image that shows the exact line that needs to be modified, you can use them as reference.

I hope this will help you install the gpedit.msc on your system.
