Yeah, the "bitness" was just used as an example. In reality, they are DMS client DLLs (OnBase). You can either choose "Version 12" or "Version 13" in the installer, so depending on which one they choose, the src value is different, but the name of the files are the same :(
We tried the <Feature /> route, which almost work, except for this: If I have Feature A and Feature B, if I install "A" first. Then decide I want "B", it's fine, because it removes "A" and then adds "B". However, if I initially did "B" and went to "A", it's a problem....because the order of operations is that it installs "B" in this case, but then removes "A". And since the file names are the same, the end result is that it gets removed.
