You can check out Microsoft's Shared Source page here:

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/Licensing/default.mspx

Which lists the following projects:

http://www.flexwiki.com/
http://wtl.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/

You can also google a bit and find reliable sources that indicate they
originated at Microsoft.  For example:

http://weblogs.asp.net/dornstein/archive/2004/09/27/235042.aspx
(flexwiki)
http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2004/07/29/200570.aspx (WiX)
http://primates.ximian.com/~miguel/archive/2004/Apr-05.html (WiX)
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/Licensing/WTL.mspx (WTL)

Some neat reading there about some collaboration between Microsoft and
open source developers.
