Quick side question for 4.x Why do we have melt AND dark? The two of you seem to want them to act the same, don't they really do the same thing (decompile a MS* database)? Melt updates/generates a .wixpdb as well which is the only real difference I can see.
Should it be considered to merge the two tools together perhaps? Just a thought exercise perhaps but the questions you two both raised have put a smell in my nose.

I like -xn -- subdirectories for files and binaries a la Dark, right? That provides binaries and prompts users to update their scripts and/or existing melt output. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
