That sounds perfect Bob. Unfortunately, now when I build from the same

I found that they need to be installed to separate directories. We
install two drivers in this way.
For example, install one to C:\Program Files\MyApp\Driver1 and the other
to C:\Program Files\MyApp\Driver2, or we actually install one as a
subdirectory of the other.

Notice that WiX v3.0.5217.0 includes DIFxApp 2.1. I see that a later
