I would like to do an unattended/automated installation of a .NET
application.
I have a deployment project which creates a setup.exe and *.msi file
which asks the user for a couple of parameters while installing.
As part of my automated build/deploy process, I would like to automate
(1) removing the old version and (2) installing this msi file using
msiexec and to take these parameters from a configuration file. I am
struggling to find any useful documentation on the internet. Any help,
pointers, links would be greatly appreciated.

You can't get parameters from a file. Specify properties on the command line
such as:
msiexec /i <my msi> MYPROP=XX /qn

where /q is silent install.
