ModuleExclusion Table
The ModuleExclusion table keeps a list of other merge modules that are incompatible in the same installer database. This table enables a merge or verification tool to check that conflicting merge modules are not merged in the user's installer database. The tool checks by cross-referencing this table with the ModuleSignature table in the installer database.
The ModuleExclusion table has the following columns.
Column | Type | Key | Nullable |
---|---|---|---|
ModuleID | Identifier | Y | N |
ModuleLanguage | Integer | Y | N |
ExcludedID | Identifier | Y | N |
ExcludedLanguage | Integer | Y | N |
ExcludedMinVersion | Version | Y | |
ExcludedMaxVersion | Version | Y |
Columns
-
ModuleID
-

-
ModuleLanguage
-
Decimal language ID of the merge module in ModuleID. This is a foreign key into the ModuleSignature table.
-

The ExcludedLanguage column can specify the language ID for a single language, such as 1033 for U.S. English, or specify the language ID for a language group, such as 9 for any English. The ExcludedLanguage column can accept negative language IDs. The meaning of the value in the ExcludedLanguage column is as follows.
