Yep, this list will probably get you a quicker response for that task :)
Does your ${install.dir} (or possibly the ${build.dir}) contain spaces? The
cab creation process used in the msi task does not like spaces in
directories, unfortunately.
In the mean time, you should be able to view the cab file by using a command
similar to the following:
msidb.exe -d IntelliPlot.msi -x IntelliPlot.cab
Let me know how that goes...

Subject: [NAntC-Dev] MSITask problem
I sent this question to the nant-users list earlier today, but I got no
response. I will try again here.
I am able to build an installer just fine with the MSI task, but that
installer will not run. I am storing several .NET assemblies in the MSI,
and the MSITask is generating a separate component for each assembly.
When I try to run the installation I receive an error saying that a file
for one of the components is not installed. I opened up the MSI with
orca, but since I am not very familiar with MSI had no real idea what I
was looking at.
Is there anyway to extract the cab file from the MSI so that I can make
sure that all the files are there?
Below is the MSI section of my build file.
Thanks,
-Scott
