Module Exclusions Dialog Box
InstallShield 2024
Project:
| • | Merge Module |
| • | MSM Database |
Some merge modules do not operate correctly in the presence of certain other merge modules. This may occur because an earlier version of a module might not be compatible with your new module. As a result, you need to ensure that the incompatible module is excluded from any installation that will contain your new module.
The Module Exclusions dialog box opens when you click the ellipsis button (...) in the Module Exclusions setting of the General Information view. This dialog box lets you select the merge modules that are compatible with the merge module that you are creating.
If you add a merge module that has exclusions to an installation project, and those excluded modules have already been added to your installation project, InstallShield silently removes any reference to the exclusions from your project.
Caution:Any excluded modules that are added to the installation project after the excluding module has been added will not be removed; in addition, you will not receive any warning that they are incompatible.
Tip:The dialog box lists the merge modules that are found in the directories that are specified on the Merge Modules tab of the Options dialog box. If you want to add an exclusion that is not present on your machine, you can do so by clicking the Add a new module dependency button in the Module Exclusions setting of the General Information view.
