I have been able to resolve this issue by downloading the NAnt and
NAntContrib nightly builds from 1/30/09.
(and also by downloading the Cabinet SDK, which I originally did not
have).

I manually copied cabarc.exe and cabinet.dll to my NAnt\bin directory
and that had no effect. Does your install set any env/registry
variables with respect to the cab sdk?
Are you using NAnt 0.86 (Build 0.86.2898.0; beta1; 12/8/2007)?

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