Resolution:
Cause
An INI file in a component of the first MSI package duplicates an entry in the IniFile table of the second MSI
package and both files are set to be installed to the same destination.
Resolution
This conflict requires a manual resolution.
Task: To perform a manual resolution:
1. In InstallShield Editor, open a transform file or MSI package that has an entry in the IniFile table.
2. Once the project is open, navigate to the INI Files Changes View, and find the INI file entry causing the
conflict by referring to the INI file name displayed in the error message.
3. Analyze the sections, keywords, and values in this INI file and compare them to the INI file in the other MSI
package. Edit the sections, keywords, and values in this INI file so that they match those of the second INI file.
This may require adding and/or deleting data from the INI File Changes View.
In order to retrieve the INI file from the other MSI package, you may need to extract it from the MSI file itself or
a cabinet file if the files are not uncompressed on the source media.
4. Select Save As from the File menu and save the changes as a Windows Installer Transform (.mst) file.
5. Open ConflictSolver and reimport this package with its transform file into your Application Catalog, and then
use the Conflict Wizard to check it against ACE22 again.

Description
Checks file name/target directory pairs in the File table to see if they conflict with similar
entries in the IniFile table. The IniFile and File tables can change the same physical file.
As a result, this ACE identifies these duplicate file changes so that they can be
evaluated.
If a file name/target directory pair in a component in the File table is also listed as an
IniFile table entry, ACE22 fails.
Manual
Ensure identically named INI files with identical destinations are identical in both the File
and IniFile tables. This may involve adding or deleting sections or changing values in
the INI files.
