Yes, but like msizap, it only removes products, not individual components.

You may want to consider writing a bootstrapper that strings together

MSBuild only operates on Visual Studio project and solution files.
You need to create a WiX project using Votive, and include your wxs in it.

If you are distributing a bundle of files via Windows Installer, you should
really use Windows Installer's notion of components for handling paths and
everything else.
If you simply embed another file package inside of an MSI, there is really no
point to be using the MSI in the first place.
The WiX Wiki (http://www.wixwiki.com), is far from complete, but does have some
good examples for Custom Actions, UI, and some of the WiX extensions.
