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.
Columns
- ModuleID
Identifier of the merge module. This is a foreign key into the
ModuleSignature table.
- ModuleLanguage
Decimal language ID of the merge module in ModuleID. This is a foreign key into the
ModuleSignature table.
- ExcludedID
Identifier of an excluded merge module.
- ExcludedLanguage
Numeric language ID of the merge module in ExcludedID. 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.
| ExcludedLanguage | Meaning |
|---|
| > 0 | Exclude the language IDs specified by ExcludedLanguage. |
| = 0 | Exclude no language IDs. |
| < 0 | Exclude all language IDs except those specified by ExcludedLanguage. |
- ExcludedMinVersion
Minimum version excluded from a range. If the ExcludedMinVersion field is Null, all versions before ExcludedMaxVersion are excluded. If both ExcludedMinVersion and ExcludedMaxVersion are Null there is no exclusion based on version.
- ExcludedMaxVersion
Maximum version excluded from a range. If the ExcludedMaxVersion field is Null, all versions after ExcludedMinVersion are excluded. If both ExcludedMinVersion and ExcludedMaxVersion are Null there is no exclusion based on version.
