This preference allows you to configure how incompatibilities are reported.
If you attempt to update, uninstall, or install software that is
not compatible with the software you already have installed, you can elect
to open a wizard to edit your software selections, or you can just have the
problem reported in the error log without opening the wizard. By
default you will be prompted about what you want to do in this situation.</p></TD>
