Application deployment question

I am building my c# installation package using the standard VS setup
tool. I want to include a link to another setup.exe that will be also
be installed when this application is installed.

how would I do this. I thought a custom action/install item would
work and point to the additional setup.exe file but this doesn't work.
any help would be appreciated.

thanks
