The Conflict Wizard allows you to identify conflicts between a Windows Installer package and packages already
cataloged in ConflictSolver. You can check for a variety of conflict types, including file, component, and registry
conflicts. In many cases, ConflictSolver can resolve the issues automatically. You can also create your own custom
rules to ensure packages conform to your internal standards and practices. ConflictSolver has rules to detect
conflicts involving: Components, Files, Registry Entries, Shortcuts, INI Files, ODBC Resources, NT Services, File
Extensions, and Product Properties.
The Conflict Wizard consists of the following panels:
•
