#1255 Bug in dark.exe on table CustomAction
I am de-compiling a MSI generated with InstallShield 11.5. I got an error on table CustomAction.
I also found this link to the same problem:
When I look at the InstallShield MSI file with Orca, The CustomAction table looks just fine.
I was using Wix 3.0.4214 and got the following error (and no .wxs file was
generated):
"C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.4214.0\dark" DB.msi DB.wxs -x db
Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Decompiler version 3.0.4214.0

DB.msi
C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.4214.0\WixDifxAppExtension.dll : error
DARK0143: A parsed tuple has more fields for table 'CustomAction' than are defined.
This is potentially because a standard table is being redefined as a custom table.
I then tried with Wix 3.0.4014 and got the following (and a .wxs file was
generated):
"C:\Program Files\WixEdit\wix-3.0.4014.0\dark" DB.msi DB.wxs -x db
