Error String

This string appears in the Output Window when a violation of this ACE rule is detected during conflict identification. For example, if you were creating a user-defined ACE to identify packages that create a desktop icon, you could enter Failure in creating desktop icon in this field.

Note:Tokens allow you to insert values at run-time from the internal Application Catalog Database or an external MSI package into the string, such as specifying a file name. To use token replacement in the error string, click on the arrow to the right of the Error String field and pick a value from the list, or just type the values directly in the text box, in the following format:

• Source Only Packages ACEs: [ColumnName]
• Source and Target Packages ACEs: [Source.ColumnName] and [Target.ColumnName]

Report 'No' results

User defined ACEs report conflicts based on the provided query. However, you may want to report the absence of the data if it could not be found. If you select this option, if the ACE does not return any results, it will be reported as an error (or warning), with the description and error strings as specified. If you expect a No result, do not use tokens in your display or error strings.
