wrong contents output file of binary compare via commandline

When I compare 2 binary files from the ExamDiff Pro GUI, then I can save the differences to a diffs.txt file.

From the commandline it is also possible to output the differences to a diffs.txt file (or whatever name you give), but the contents of the file only says something like: "Different binary files: C:\Bin1.bin, C:\Bin2.bin".

This is not what I expect. I expect a summary of the differences.
The commandline I use = examdiff /tb c:\bin1.bin c:\bin2.bin /o:c:\diffs.txt

note (perhaps this can be the cause?):
I first downloaded the Pro 30-days Trial, which couldn't do the job.
Then I/We bought licences, registered the software, and still with the same result.

Is this the normal behaviour of the commandline binary compare output?

This can be "fixed" by unchecking the following option under Options | Misc | Messages: "Message about different binary files"
