Description
When performing conflict analysis using multiple source packages and one or
more target packages, ConflictSolver will evaluate each source package against
each target package.
However, if you want ConflictSolver to also perform conflict analysis of each
source package against every other source package and each target package
against every other target package, select this option.
Note • If performing conflict analysis with multiple source packages, and if this option is
selected, both ACE21 and ACE22
only one of them is evaluated, then there is the possibility that conflicts will not be detected.
There are two types of ACE rules:
• Conflict ACEs—Detect conflicts between two Windows Installer packages.
•
Best Practice ACEs—Internally perform checks against the structure of a
Windows Installer package. (Similar to Microsoft's ICE validation rules.)
Select one of these radio buttons to toggle the ACE tree listing between Conflict
ACEs and Best Practice ACEs:
• Show best practice rules
•
Show conflict detection rules
In both the Conflict ACE and Best Practice ACE trees, if you want a specific type
of conflict identified by default, select the appropriate check box.
ACEs associated with unselected boxes will not be performed by default during
conflict identification. However, you can override these in the
the Conflict Wizard.
The user-defined ACE file specified here is run after the pre-defined ACE rules are
run. The selection of this user-defined ACE file will affect the default Conflict Types
displayed on this dialog (described above), as well as those displayed on the
Rules Viewer and the Conflict Wizard.
By default, a file path to an initially empty user-defined ACE file is provided for
you. If you have already created a user-defined ACE, specify the location of that
user-defined ACE file to activate it. Only one user-defined ACE file can be active at
one time.
You use user-defined ACEs to extend the functionality of pre-defined ACEs with
company-specific functionality. By selecting different user-defined ACE files, you
can organize rules appropriate for individual users in your organization. See
Defined ACEs for more information.
