Gert,
I tried executing cabarc from my build file - that works (at least I get a
.cab file - I'm not sure how the msi file gets generated.)
Executing the msi block gives the same error

find the cause.
I'll let you know when it's available. Probably in the next day or two.

I'm basically looking for ways
I wish to generate an .msi installer for a windows service. We use NAnt in our build
process. I noticed that there is an msitask in the NAntContrib project but it seems to
be lacking support services. I know little about .msi (Windows installer) generation.
