Hi Scott, I'm not sure I understand your problem, but I have a couple of suggestions:
1. Set msi.sourcedir to one directory level above install.dir. The sourcedir will get cluttered by .cab files, .msi files and a Temp directory during the msi task process. 2. After creating an msi archive, test it using MsiVal2.exe from the Installer SDK (against the darice.cub tests). It has detected many problems for me as I was starting to use MSITask.
