My problem is the following: I have multiple applications that I want pack in one installer so when the user runs it, they will be installed automatically instead of installing or copying each single application. I have a program that's already a setup file (.exe) and two .exe files which can be executed manually and do not need an installation. So what I want is: Build an installer so when the user opens it - the .exe file of the setup program gets installed and the other applications which dont need to be installed will be copied somewhere in a path. Whats the best solution?

You better use installBuilders like http://installbuilder.bitrock.com – pmverma Nov 25 '14 at 11:39

I think you need a packaging programs to create an installation package, such as: AdvancedInstaller InstallShield InstallAnyware
The first two of them have a freeware version. Maybe you can see if the required features are available in the freeware version.

I would suggest Advanced Installer (allows easy chaining of installs) if you have no significant deployment experience. Otherwise I would suggest Wix and its "Burn" feature (ability to chain installers in sequence). Please read the following answers for context:
