Workaround: Copy *.dll from SDK folder to BIN folder :)

Command:
melt.exe "V1.0.msi" -out ".\RTM.wixpdb" -pdb "V1.0.wixpdb" -x .\RMTBinaries Windows Installer Xml Melter version 3.7.1224.0 Copyright (C) Outercurve Foundation. All rights reserved.

Output:
melt.exe : error MELT0001 : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Package, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ce35f76fcda82bad' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified

Exception Type: System.IO.FileNotFoundException

Stack Trace:

at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Melt.Run(String[] args)

After copying those two files I got more exceptions so I just copied ALL libraries to the bin folder and it started working.
