It is not recommended as a best practice of msi to add setup files. You need to repackage them and create the msi file. However, if your setup is a driver type and cannot be repackaged (may be vendor recommended), then you can.
Create 2 components without keypath and add your setup files to it. Set the destination folder to temp drive. Write a custom action to execute the setup files in silent mode. You need to do some research on the correct switches that the setup files support for silent installation.

The next post from sivawise will go something like:
- what is a component
- what is a keypath
- what is a custom action
Your post should first have asked if the set-up EXEs extract and execute an MSI already.
@sivawise: None of us here have the time to walk you through the packaging process, unless you'd like to pay, of course.
Search AppDeploy for 'definitive guide', read that excellent work, read up some basic packaging information on MSDN and THEN start packaging.

Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
