The Binary table holds the binary data for items such as bitmaps, animations, and icons. The binary table is also used to store data for custom actions.
Binary Table:
Extract Icons or bitmaps directly from Binary table instead of performing an admin install.
- Browse to Binary Table
- Double click the data part of the binary which is to be extracted
- Select either of the options "Read Binary data from file " or "Write Binary data to file" depending on the requirement .
- Provide the file location to be extracted in file name tab
- select OK
We will get the extracted file in the desired location.

This is useful if there is
This is useful if there is a custom action with an script embedded in this table. You can stream it out of the binary table to view the script.
Cab files
If the MSI has the option checked as Cab files embedded in MSI, then these cab files are also present in the binary table which also can be extraced. Also you can use ORCA for extracting the binary files.
