c. Click OK.
The conflict filter is globally set to show only errors in the Conflict List pane.
12. Select Packages menu > Export and Recompile.
The Export Changed Packages and Recompile dialog box appears, listing the
QuickFacts package.
13. Mark the check box for the QuickFacts package. Also, mark Compile the packages
after export and click OK.
Several progress dialog boxes appear briefly during the export.
14. When progress dialog boxes stop appearing, close ConflictManager.
The file change is made in the QuickFacts.wsi file with which you've been working,
which is in the Projects\QuickFacts subdirectory of the share point directory. It is
also compiled to a file named QuickFacts.msi. The conflict that it had with the
Sample Conflict package is now resolved because each package will use its own
version of the .DLL file instead of one .DLL overwriting the other .DLL.
You have finished resolving conflicts. On the Projects tab, the check box next to the
Resolve conflicts task is marked to indicate that the task is complete.
If you don't have the Quality Assurance module, all the tasks in the Package Testing
phase of the Repackaging for Windows Installer process are complete. If you have the
Quality Assurance module, the Package Testing phase contains three additional tasks:
Prepare package for deployment, Deploy instrumented package, and Analyze Results.
This tutorial skips these tasks because they require integration with other computers.
Next, you make the package available for distribution to end users.
In this procedure, you update the status of the QuickFacts package to Available, which is
the first step in the Release Management phase. The Make Package Available task runs
Software Manager silently, which updates the status of the package and copies the
package to the Available Packages subdirectory in the share point directory.
The Available Packages directory provides a centralized location for storing all of your
packages that are complete and available for deployment, and keeping them separate
from packages that are still in development.
Before you follow this procedure, you must have resolved conflicts.

and marked as Read-only.
You have finished making the package available for distribution to end users. On the
Projects tab, the check box next to the Make package available task is marked to
indicate that the task is complete. Next, you will distribute the package to end users.
