Include other porgram installers

Is ther a way to include other installer in an installer build? I don't mean NI support files like VISA and 488.2 I know how to include them. But I have an application that needs other programs installed like NHR IVI drivers and I would like to install MS XMLnotepad for editing config files. 

 

It wuold be nice to be able to include these other installers in the installer package.

I've never tried, but I've seen enough on forums that, if I were to try, I'd start looking at Inno Setup.

Cant you just add them to the project and "Always include" in the build?

We use the Deploy toolkit which produces installers based on Inno Setup - I'd thoroughly recommend looking into it - it's far more customisable than the NI installer (single exe for distribution, include other installers/files, run multiple files before/after installation, installation options etc. etc.).
