Guidelines for Resolving File Conflicts
ConflictManager Reference
Resolving a conflict involves looking at each file that is installed by more than one
package and selecting the version to install on the destination computer. You also can
change the location of conflicting files so that each package can use its version of the
file.
See
Guidelines for Resolving File
Your options for resolving conflicts are as follows:
Resolve conflicts
automatically
Resolve individual conflicts
manually
The Resolve with Rules and Resolve commands resolve file conflicts only. To resolve
registry key value and .ini file conflicts, you must use the Properties dialog box.
See
Resolving Registry Conflicts
You cannot resolve conflicts in:
Packages that are marked as read-only on the Package Attributes dialog box in
Software Manager.
Certain types of packages.
See
Restrictions on Resolving and Exporting Package Types
Before you resolve a conflict, analyze the conflicting file's version, date/time, size, and
other information to determine the cause of the conflict. You can view the file
information in either the Conflict Details pane or the Resolve wizard pages. If you use
conflict resolution rules, the rules perform the conflict analysis and resolution.
The following table provides guidelines for resolving file conflicts. The Recommended
Resolution column describes in general terms how to resolve the conflict, specifies the
button to click to resolve the problem in the Resolve wizard, and specifies the rule action
to use when resolving with conflict resolution rules.
