The real question is how do you make that happen with DIFX. We, unfortunately, do not own the DifxApp CustomAction which means we don't control how it works. We just read their documentation and exposed it via the WiX toolset...
I'm also not an expert on DIFX but there are some people on this list that seem to use it regularly and I think there is a place to send DIFX questions mentioned in the archives of this mailing list...
