Specifies whether Microsoft® Visual Studio® Installer ignores the product version of any merge modules (.msm files) called by the selected .msm file.
Note This property only applies to .msm files included in Visual Studio Installer merge module projects; it does not apply to .msm files included in installer projects.
When you add an .msm file to a merge module project, the .msm file you add may have dependencies on other .msm files. By default, any such .msm file dependencies require the product version of the dependent .msm files matches the language of the .msm file that calls them.
You can use the IgnoreVersion property to change this default and stipulate that dependent .msm files of any version are acceptable. This establishes "neutral" .msm file dependencies.
Settings
The settings for the IgnoreVersion property are:
| Setting | Description |
| False | Visual Studio Installer does not ignore the product version of dependent .msm files called by the selected .msm file. Visual Studio Installer will only import dependent .msm files of the stipulated version. |
| True | Visual Studio Installer ignores the product version when importing any .msm file dependencies of the selected .msm file to your merge module project. |
