Merges of Merge Modules should not complain about TARGETDIR Directory entries
Merges of Merge Modules should not complain about TARGETDIR Directory entries |
The "TARGETDIR" directory key is the only one that a merge module
is allowed to (and needs to) not append a GUID like string to (to ensure
uniqueness).
This ensures that Windows Installer merge functions will almost
positively clash on that table/key.
The Windows Installer merge functions/methods should not therefore
report this as an error.
MAKEMSI now has this merge issue defined in the
"MERGEMOD_IGNORE_ERRORS_ALWAYS" definition so that at least by default
it always gets ignored.
