Description

The Unpack method requires a reference to a string and the path to the package that is being unpacked.  Developers can pass in a string to the location they want the package to unpack to.  This should be a general location.  After the package unpacks the string will be updated with the path to the content of the package.  For example, if a you are unpacking a Map Package to c:\Packages, the unpack location string will be updated to the path to the MXD.

If a package has been previously unpacked to a different location the path to the previous location will be returned.  Passing in an empty string will use the default package location.

The unpack method returns a StringArray containing the path to the package content.

Remarks

The unpack method does not support Geoprocessing Packages.
