no messages will be emitted during successful operation. Double-clicking the SFX in Windows Explorer or as an attachment in an email will cause a console window to appear briefly, before it disappears. If you run the ConsoleApplication SFX from the cmd.exe prompt, it runs as a normal console app; by default, because it is quiet, it displays no messages to the console. If you pass the -v+ command line argument to the Console SFX when you run it, you will get verbose messages to the console. |

ConsoleApplication

the extractor will emit a message to the console for each entry extracted. When double-clicking to launch the SFX, the console window will remain, and the SFX will emit a message for each file as it extracts. The messages fly by quickly, they won't be easily readable, unless the extracted files are fairly large. |

WinFormsApplication

the SFX presents a forms UI and allows the user to select
options before extracting.
