Hi Kevin,
Please try to build the msi without a space in the directory structure. I
believe that is causing cabarc to fail.
Also, for #2, by default the msi task flattens the included file's directory
structure. With a recent nightly build, you can set the keepsubdirs
attribute of the component element to true. That will maintain the
directory structure for that component's files.
