Curious to know if anyone has used winbatch to automate .MSI creation. If so, would you mind sharing some of the knowledge?

Windows has MSI related COM Automation interfaces. But I have not used them and am not sure exactly what you need to automate so I can't provide much help or advice. There is one example in the Tech Database that shows how to get version information from an MSI file. It can be found here:
http://techsupt.winbatch.com/webcgi/webbatch.exe?techsupt/nftechsupt.web+WinBatch/OLE~COM~ADO~CDO~ADSI~LDAP/WindowsInstaller+Get~Product~Version~from~MSI.txt
The MSFT documentation for the installer interfaces can be found here:

I know the oft-mentioned WinINSTALL LE is still available at
http://scalable.marketing.downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/WinINSTALL_LE.exe
Have not actually tried it myself though.
