Resolving Registry Conflicts
ConflictManager Reference
When you resolve a conflict, the exclamation point to the left of the file name
changes from red to white.
To move the selected file to a private directory and change the file path in the
package, click Move. This button is not available if you selected the Do not
move files isolation method.
Warning
When conflicting files are listed in the registry, moving them to a private
application directory can cause problems. ConflictManager updates the registry
when a file is moved to a private application directory. This can cause other
packages to follow the moved file and result in a further conflict.
To use the most recent version of the file for the active package, click Latest. If
one file has a newer version but another has a newer date/time, the Latest File
Selection dialog box appears, where you choose whether to use the file with the
newest modified date or the highest internal version number.
To apply a file in the upper list box to a package in the lower list box, select a
file in each list and click Copy Down. The file remains in its current location but
will be used to install the package in the lower list box.
To apply a file in the lower list box to the active package, select a file in each list
and click Copy Up. The file remains in its current location but will be used to
install the package in the upper list box.
To open a separate dialog box listing the registry keys that contain the path to
the selected file, click Reg Details.
To undo changes, click the file and click the upper or lower Revert button,
depending on whether the file is in the upper or lower list box. This resets the
file to the state it was in when you imported the package.

When you have resolved all file conflicts, click Finish on the File Conflicts in Registry
page.
The Resolve wizard makes the changes you specified and closes.
The Resolve with Rules and Resolve commands resolve file conflicts only. To resolve
registry key conflicts, use the Properties dialog box.
Warning
Resolve registry key conflicts only if you are the developer of the package and you have
extensive knowledge of how Windows operates. Changing registry information
incorrectly can damage the installation. In particular, changing information in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT can damage the operating system.
To resolve registry conflicts
1.
(Enterprise Management Server only.) If multiple databases are open, select a
database in the Applications/Packages pane.
2.
If you are using package groups, select a group name in the Groups pane.
The Applications/Packages pane displays only packages that are assigned to that
group.
