Installing Multiple Applications per Project (LV8.2)

I have a single LabVIEW project that contains two application build specs.  I have two different applications, one of which is a 'full' product, which controls measurements on a Network Analyzer thru GPIB (VISA), and another application that allows me to view data files that are saved by the 'full' product.  The file viewer is accessible as a subVI thru the run-time menu of the full product, but the subVI can also be built as a standalone app.
 
I tried to make a single installer that would allow me to install both applications at once, being accessible as two items under one menu item in the All Programs... menu, e.g. All Programs...->App->App1 and All Programs...->App->App2.
 
In the Source Files Category, I set up each of these to reside under different subfolders (App1 and App2) under an App folder, which is under the [ProgramFilesFolder].
 
When I ran the installer, the same files (from App1) got stored in both folders.
 
Is there not a way to install multiple apps like this under different subfolders?

Hey wired,
    I made up a simple test, and did not experience the problems you were having.  Can you create one similar to what I created, or even use mine?  It's attached here.  Let's step back, create a new installer build, and see if you can recreate this problem again.

Brian,

I built an entirely new project, and built two new app builders and a new installer.  Everything works OK now.  I think the problem must have stemmed from copying one installer and/or application builder and modifying it (something that I think SHOULD be allowed without messing things up).
