Ted,
I looked on NAntContrib and a build that would include the keepsubdirs
attribute isn't there yet. The 20040723 is the latest build that's
available and it was my starting point for adding the keepsubdirs
attribute.
Once a build is available, the following might be informative.
I'm learning about MSI the same as you. I'll help if I can.

Below is my test directory structure: (I also verified it on a much
larger project - but no guarantees ;)

Subject: RE: [Nant-users] msi, components, and subdirs
Hi Ted,
Sorry, I should have mentioned that the xsd file that I pointed you to
was
the most recent version, thus only valid for a nightly build of
NAntContrib.
Also, the keepsubdirs attribute was just recently added, so it would
only be
valid in a very recent nightly build of NAntContrib.
Is there any way you could provide the build script that you are using?
Also, could you provide the entire output w/ error?
Thanks
Jim

Subject: [Nant-users] msi, components, and subdirs
My installation has the following directory hierarchy/structure:
<Main_Install_Folder>
<Subdir />
<Subdir />
<Subdir />
<Sub_SubDir />>
<Subdir />
</Main_Install_Folder>
All files in all components saved to the Main_Install_Folder are added
to
the MSI without a problem.
When the msi task hits one of the subdirectory components (with multiple
files to be included), only the first file is added, followed by this
error:
Unable to build MSI database
'C:\earthit\users\quinby\SIS_build_0.85\install_test\sis-install-0.0.0.9
.msi
'.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
If I comment out the offending subdir, the next subdir exhibits the same
behavior.
I was previously directed by Jim to look at the MSITask.xsd schema at
the
following link:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nantcontrib/NAntContrib/src/Tasks/
Msi/
MsiTask.xsd?rev=1.7&view=auto
At the top of the page is mention of the keepsubdirs attribute -- I've
incorporated this xsd into my implementation of nant and played around
with
this attribute but am still getting this error. Am I on the right track
here?
Excerpts of my components are as follows:
<component name="C_Main" id="{0E2DE7A7-6F89-4a99-9368-807676F920E4}"
attr="2" directory="MAINFOLDER" feature="DefaultFeature"
keepsubdirs="true">
<key file="SIS.exe" />
<fileset basedir="${build.dir}">
<include name="SIS.exe" />
</fileset>
</component>
<component name="C_Resources"
id="{A2BDA996-8440-49E7-A4F7-3AB254C98D2B}"
attr="2" directory="SUBFOLDER" feature="DefaultFeature">
<key file="crops.txt" />
<fileset basedir="${build.dir}\resources">
<include name="crops.txt" />
<include name="divervehicles.txt" />
</fileset>
</component>
