Amazing!  Ok, second part of my question is this:

Can I inject a "replacement" msi/msp payload?  What tool would I use then?

My scenario is that we are looking to change our signing strategy into a manner 
that more efficiently uses our existing payloads rather than a recompile of our 
installers and bootstrapper.
New scenario is this

Get "Gold" RTM Candidate signed with internal development keys.
        Dark the bootstrapper -> Get MSIs/MSPs
                Use Windows Installer APIs to aquire binaries from each, and 
extract
                        Sign+Timstamp those
                Use Windows Installer APIs to re-insert binaries for each
                Sign+Timestamp updated MSIs/MSPs
        Use ??? to update bootstrapper payload(s)
        Sign+Timestamp updated bootstrapper.
Release to the world


This is a generic approach (IMHO) that can be used universally and can 
facilitate proper code signing and strong naming (PKI) infrastructure for 
enterprise development houses.

Any insight would be amazing!

Yes.  Dark can be used to extract the payload.

Can a BA be processed by a dark or melt type application?
