I think it is bugy implementation of ExtractFile task.
All of used utilities by default generate prompt if output file exists.
It is not handled anyway.
Existing implementation doesn't use any option to well define behaviour for existing output files.
By example if you use tar.gz format on Windows then it fail if output file exists.
Default behaviour of tar is to override output files, but on Windows behaviour is wrong.
