# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# This should be an absolute or relative path to the MHT file.
# It is the MHT to be unpacked.

# Unpacking will create the HTML file C:/AAWorkarea/mht_unpack/test.html
# The image files are unpacked to C:/AAWorkarea/mht_unpack/images
# The unpackDir and partsSubDir are automatically created if needed.
