1. What does dark.exe do?
2. I'd do what dark.exe does.
3. Need more information about why you need a new method.

Subject: [WiX-devs] Updating Melt to extract files from the Binary table for
patching
Hello all,
So I'm working on this melt issue where I would like to extract the binaries
from the Binary table out to disk and update the wixpdb file as to their
location.
I have a few concerns and I'm sure someone has a better idea as to what to do
with regard to these issues
1) I'm currently extracting the files to wherever -x specifices + a
"Binary" subdirectory. This could potentially conflict with a base folder
named Binary that someone may have in their MSI/MSM. Where should I put this
data? Should I prepend with a special character?
2) Should this sub-path value be overridable by a command line switch (ex.
-xbinary to go with the -x naming convention)?
3) I'm currently wrapping this extraction in a new private method called
by InstallPackage::ExtractFIles(ICollection<string>). Would it be preferred
that since this is only used by melt.cs that it be put elsewhere?
Thanks, and happy new year!
