The problem was having two driver packages installed in the same
directory. The solution was to move component #1 to it's own directory
during installation and everything seems to be much happier.

Subject: [WiX-users] sequential driver installation question
I have a PCI device that is a multiport serial adapter. The installation
procedure is to use an INF that uses mf.sys to enumerate X number of
serial ports. Once they have been enumerated I can install my driver
package for each serial port.
Using WiX to create an installer for this scenario, I have two components.
I use sequence numbers to specify the installation order. When I run the
installer it enumerates the serial ports and thinks it's finished. I'm
suspicious that the installer finishes before the ports have enumerated so
my second component never executes. Is there a way to force the second
component to wait for the first to completely finish installation?
