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.
