Click OK.
Note
The settings in Setup menu > Conflict Settings > Types determine which conflicts are
detected. Example: If your conflict settings are set to detect file conflicts only, then
registry conflicts do not appear even when the conflict filter is set to display registry
conflicts.
Conflicts that are identified by ConflictManager are often found to be harmless upon
further testing. Normally, ConflictManager will continue to display these conflicts. To
filter these harmless conflicts from the conflict display, you can designate certain
conflicts between specific packages to be ignored, or hidden. Example: Designate that
any conflicts involving abc.dll between Package A and Package B should be ignored
When you hide a conflict, it does not appear in:
The Conflict Details pane.
The Resolve wizard.
ConflictManager reports.
To designate a conflict as hidden
In the Conflict Details pane, right-click the conflict and select Hide Conflict. The icon to
the left of the conflict is dimmed.
To show or hide hidden conflicts
1.
Select Setup menu > Conflict Settings and click the Types tab.
2.
Mark or clear Display Conflicts Marked as Hidden to determine how
ConflictManager filters hidden conflicts.
