I've never used the MSI task, but If you're going to be implementing a
Task with more stuff, then perhaps you may want to look at WiX
(Windows Installer XML).

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/

I'm presently using it in our build (nightly/weekly) and it's works great.

The WiX FAQ is here:  http://gauss.dynalias.net/wix/wixfaq.htm
The WiX Tutorial is here:  http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/

Basically, you compile an XML file, then link it, and you get an MSI
file....that's the Mickey Mouse version of things.  Candle is
compiler.  Light is linker.  There's also Dark a dissasembler in case
you wanted to take a look at how other MSI files are built.

Hope that helps in case the MSI task isn't enough.
