The ExtractFiles method extracts the embedded .cab file from a module and then writes those files to the destination directory. For more information, see the ExtractFiles method of the Merge object.

IMsmMerge::ExtractFiles      All Mergemod.dll versions.

Syntax

C++HRESULT ExtractFiles(
  [in]  BSTR Path

Parameters

Path [in]

The fully qualified destination directory. A LPCWSTR may be used in place of a BSTR.
