On the Resolve Conflicts Page, you will view all detected conflicts and choose to resolve any conflicts that have an

automatic resolution.

To resolve conflicts:

In the ConflictSolver Process Assistant, click the Resolve Conflicts icon in the navigation bar. The Resolve

Conflicts Page opens.

For the Select the type of conflicts to display option, select Automatically resolvable conflicts.

Select the ACE errors that you would like to automatically resolve.

Click Resolve. The Resolution Details dialog box opens prompting you to approve the changes.

Click Approve. The resolved conflicts now are listed with a check mark icon.

You can also view the manually resolvable conflicts. See

instructions.

Automatic Conflict Resolution

To identify conflicts between multiple installation packages, ConflictSolver uses Application Conflict Evaluators

(ACEs). Some ACE failures can be resolved automatically by ConflictSolver. These automatic resolution

techniques are defined in Conflict Application Resolution Definition (CARD) rules. ACEs that can be automatically

resolved by CARDs are referred to as Best Practice ACEs: ACE02, ACE04, ACE05, ACE06, ACE07, ACE15, ACE18,

ACE19, ACE20. CARDs resolve errors found by the corresponding ACE of the same number.

You can choose to automatically resolve ACEs on the Conflicts View for the product. Select the conflict you want

to resolve and click Resolve. Alternatively, click Resolve All to resolve all resolvable conflicts for the selected

conflict category. See

Manual Conflict Resolution

Due to their complexity, some conflicts require manual resolution using Tuner or InstallShield Editor.

For information on manual solutions, consult the

topics. These topics can provide valuable information regarding what is causing the conflict, so you can use Tuner

or InstallShield Editor to solve it.

Once you have resolved detected conflicts manually, you can re-import the package into ConflictSolver.
