[wix-users] Export from MSI

[Christopher Painter]

If you just want to extract the files do an admin install like:

msiexec /a rust-1.48.0-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.msi<https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-1.48.0-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.msi> TARGETDIR=C:\extract /qb

If I get this file:

https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/rust-1.48.0-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.msi

I try to extract like this:

~~~
dark -v -x . rust-1.48.0-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.msi
~~~

but I just get a bunch of files like this:

~~~

~~~
