It's a bug (oversight) in the implementation of ExtractFiles(). Can you create a bug report on SourceForge?

The methods work fine on an MSI but not merge modules. It appears just by browsing through the source of the Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Package assembly that we are trying to count the number of rows in the Media table which doesn't exist in merge modules. I tried the latest build of WiX 3.0 and the issue still appears there. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. All I'm doing is using (InstallPackage pkg = new InstallPackage(msmFile, DatabaseOpenMode.Transact)) { pkg.ExtractFiles(); } With that code, you get a NullReferenceException object.
