hi,

i haven't seen one but i have converted from infs to msis manually.  an excellent reference is:

"Internet Explorer 5 Resource Kit" published by MS Press ISBN: 0-7356-0587-4.  Chapter 18 Part 3 - Customizing Installation by Using .INF Files ( pg. 394 )  and Appendix H - Sections of an .INF File ( pg 550 )

alternatively, you could also capture the results of the inf run ( using the RunDLL32 to launch, for NT/2K/XP or OS appropriate call to launch the .inf after a pre-install capture )...
