[wix-users] Need some help fixing this Burn script...

The following script is not working correctly, and I am not sure how to
proceed - if someone could take a look and provide some feedback I'd
appreciate it...

My target is to get this working on Windows 10.

Here are the problems I've seen so far:

   - The generated .exe tries to run some of the installers listed in the
   chain multiple times.
   - The Sparkwave installer (which works on it's own) fails to run if it's
   placed AFTER the CDM installer with errors related to verifying it's hash.
   (If I place the Sparkwave installer BEFORE the CDM installer in the chain
   it works correctly)...
   - The CDM installer appears to run all the way through, but upon click
   the final "finish" button in that installer the Burn script fails
   with Error 0x80070001. I think this is related to it's attempt to run the
   same installers multiple times...

Here is my script:
