Ah... I was basing my suggestion off of Patrick's code. For your code try:
For (1):
<CustomAction Id='LaunchMyBat' Directory='DRIVER'
ExeCommand='"[DRIVER]install_silent.bat" "[DRIVER]"' Return="asyncNoWait"
/>
For (2):
<CustomAction Id='LaunchMyBat' Directory='DRIVER'
ExeCommand='"[DRIVER]install_silent.bat"' Return="asyncNoWait" />
