The dialog information should have been extracted w/ the vdprojconverter program. Do you have a sample that would show how the Visual Studio install contains more dialogs?
The difference in filesize between MSITaskTemplate.msi and MSITaskTemplateVS.msi is because the MSITaskTemplate.msi file contains preconfigured dialogs. The MSITaskTemplateVS.msi is virtually empty with exception of some directory information. Just make sure that cabarc.exe is in your system path, and everything should work fine...
