>Summary: dark doesn\'t work with CustomTables with binary columns

Initial Comment:
The attached .msi file has a custom table that contains 
a binary column. Dark explodes on this with the following 
error message:

badbinary.msi
dark.exe : fatal error DARK0000: Failed to get string from 
record

Well, its taken us almost 2 years, but we finally have the
infrastructure in place for wix 3.0 to fix this bug.  Thank
you for opening it.

I've been holding back on fixing this bug as it turns out the 
compiler does not support the compilation of tables with 
binary columns: MsiDigitalSignature.Hash, 
MsiDigitalSignature.CertData, SFPCatalog.Catalog, or 
custom binary columns.

Clearly a bug worth fixing, so it's only a matter of time.
