Hey Kevin,
The dialogs that are present in the default msi template are not the
same as the dialogs added to the visual studio builds. If you are
interested in using the visual studio dialogs, you can, but it takes a
little bit of work.
First, you will need to specify to use a template that works with
visual studio (loads defafult directories, etc). I have one
(MSITaskTemplateVS.msi and MSMTaskTemplateVS.msm) checked into the bin
directory of NAntContrib.
You will also need to import Visual Studio's dialogs. They come in
files of type wim and wid and are basically just configurable merge
modules. Meaning they are merge modules that you can specify
properties when merging. So... to put all of this together, you'll
get a build file similar to:
<readregistry property="nant.vsnet.dialog.dir" hive="LocalMachine"
key="Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Deployment\DialogTemplates\DefaultDir"
/>
<msi output="Setup1.msi" sourcedir="C:\Dev\Setup1\Debug"
template="${nant.location}/MSITaskTemplateVS.msi">

The default installation directory (TARGETDIR) for the NAnt template
is set to Program Files\ManufacturerName\Product Name
To get your methods to run, you need to create a custom action. You
will need to manually define where and when the custom action will
run. There is an example or two on how to do this on the wiki. If
you need further help, let me know.
Hope this sort of helps :)
