Configuring Resolution Options

On the Resolution Tab of the ConflictSolver Options dialog box, you can specify options to determine how
conflict resolutions are performed.

Description
If this option is selected, ConflictSolver will, by default, save conflict detection
resolutions in a transform file (MST). The original Windows Installer package (MSI)
remains untouched.
You can override this option for an individual package by going to that package's
Conflict View and clicking Edit and change this option on the Resolution
Options dialog box.
Select this option if you want to review and approve the suggested resolution for
each conflict before ConflictSolver performs any resolutions. When the conflict
detection process is completed, the Resolutions Details dialog box is
displayed, listing the conflicts that were found and the CARDs that could be used
to resolve these conflicts. Before ConflictSolver will continue resolving these
conflicts, each conflict resolution must be approved. See
Process
for more information.
Some CARDs can resolve a conflict in more than one way. For example,
checks whether the executable module within the component is the key file, and
accumulates a list of potential files to be used for the key file. If this option is
selected, this list of files is displayed on the CARD Resolution Options dialog
box, and you are prompted to select which file to use. If this option is not selected,
the CARD will perform its default resolution.
