You can include all files and sub files by using the keepsubdirs property...
<compoent name="C__MainFiles" id="{954E1067-F73D-4945-B662-92C34F1C3A07}" attr="2" directory="TARGETDIR" feature="F__DefaultFeature" keepsubdirs="true">
<key file="web.config" />
<fileset basedir="${project.dir}">
<include name="**/*.*" />
</fileset>
</component>
There are some issues that you should be aware of, however. All of the files will be linked to that one feature, so that lmits the abililty for users to perform custom installs. Keyfiles can only be relative filenames...it can't be a directory. The keyfile should be constant through revisions of your install (to aid with upgrades)... if you choose to do a dynamic keyfile, I'm sure you could set an nant property (before the msi task) that is equal to a filename. You could use the foreach task to get a list of filenames.

Is there a way just to include all files/directories recursively when building and msi install?
Also, for components, is there a way to just have the msi ant task pick any file in ${dir} to be the key file. I am trying to make my msi task as generic as possible so I can reuse most of it without changing to much. We have many installers that install one component and just do the same thing, but the key file is different in all of them.(I don't think I care what the key file is…..can the key file be a directory? That would be nice too.
Thanks,
