For a slightly different approach, we moved from using MSI packages and the <msi> task from NAntContrib, to WiX, which happily has a set of custom NAnt tasks provided with it. You could always have a go at writing your own NAnt task and then submitting it to NAntContrib ;-)

We create MSM an MSI files from Nant regularly.  Keep in mind, that I'm using an older version though.  I need to try and get up to the current version.

 

Some issues with the MSI/MSM tasks:

 

  They are very sensitive to the order of sections (don't know why re-ordering an xml file would matter).  So make sure you have everything in the same order as the examples.  Some sections are required even if you don't have anything in them (again, on my version).  I had some issues with including entire directories (**/*) that didn't work.  And you can't use a foreach inside the tasks to generate dependencies, for example.
