Additional Files

Issue - I have an additional file that is a BIN type. Do I do anything with this file?

Solution - First, not many Customers have these files or they are a hidden files and you may not see it. The BIN file is an additional file that is needed for your Custom Build or file labeled #2 in order to get everything installed. You don't need to do anything with this file and if you copy your Custom Build to a different location, then you will need to copy any BIN files as well.
