We don't use MSBuild and this is just a subset of the actual functionality
that is in the method we use. We have a custom build API that incorporates
this code. The code that I have written is much more robust and allows for
configuration / logging options beyond what the setup.proj offers. I just
posted this as a starting place for someone who would rather programatically
generate the setup.exe.

I'm not sure why you actually created a console app to do that?
If you put this in a file called setup.proj:
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";>
<ItemGroup>
<BootstrapperFile Include="SQL.2005.Backwards.Compatibility">
<ProductName>SQL 2005 Backwards Compatibility</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Web.Services.Enhancements.2.0.SP2">
<ProductName>WSE 2.0</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="BuildBootstrapper">
<GenerateBootstrapper
ApplicationFile="MyInstall.msi"
ApplicationName="My Product"
<!-- ApplicationUrl=http://mycomputer -->
BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)"
<!-- Path="" not needed if the SDK is installed otherwise copy the
the folders of the Bootstrapper directory to a known (relative)
location -->
ComponentsLocation="Relative"
CopyComponents="true"
OutputPath=".\output" />
</Target>
</Project>
And then run form the SDK command prompt:
msbuild setup.proj
You should achieve the same. That relieves you of having to compile stuff.
And you can call the wix compile and link tasks also from the setup.proj file

The following example generates a setup.exe using the SDK bootstrapper.
