Do you get some sort of error message?

No, they are not. 8-)
Ant uses an exec() method that passes the parameters as an array of
strings and these strings are not quoted. In fact quoting may even
cause problems - you may try
<arg value='TARGETDIR=${build.dir}\extract\msi' />
i.e. without the double quotes. It may or may not help.
