This is what I have in the Bundle.wxs for my bootstrapper project. The problem is that the <MSPackage> is NOT being installed when I run the .EXE bootstrapper file created when I build the project. It builds with no errors and during installation no errors show either, but the driver is not getting installed, only the bootstrapper.

For the 32bit GUID I have the placeholder of 0's as the machine I am currently working on does not have my program installed as 32bit, only 64bit so there is no GUID in the registry editor.
If possible, the same code needs to work on a computer with the 32bit or 64bit program installed. And install the correct Setup.msi. I also have registry searches in there as I would like it to not only check the platform of the program but also the machine architecture.

I've been searching the internet for help with this, which is a simple thing I thought. I would really appreciate any help :)

I came across this post -> Wix Setup not installing when called from Bootstrapper
The issue I am having is very similar, the Setup.msi works fine, but not when it is called through the Bootstrapper. Below is the log file created from running the .EXE.
