Create windows installer

Hello Team,
I need to install two files MSI and EXE in one exe/MSI file.

  1. The First file, I have created one c# application and use vs installer to create the MSI.

  2. The Second file, is an installation exe file, maybe this file was created by IExpress wizard. (This is a supporting file for my application, also this is a third-party application)

Currently, I created the one project just an exe file, while running the exe file it will download both MSI and exe in the local system, and it will install one by one.

But using the above method, Anti-Virus blocks my exe file download it is shown as a Trojan program.

Trojan-Dropper programs are designed to secretly install malicious programs built into their code to victim computers.
This type of malicious program usually save a range of files to the victim’s drive (usually to the Windows directory, the Windows system directory, temporary directory etc.), and launches them without any notification (or with fake notification of an archive error, an outdated operating system version, etc.).

I agree, this installation method is shown as a malicious program. I need to resolve this installation.

I need to install two files in running one MSI/EXE. Please share anyone have an idea for install two files in one MSI/EXE.
1. File one is c# windows application, created by our end.
2. File two is a third-party installable package exe file.

Notes:
In that second file, before installation needs to make sure this file already exists in that system.

Thanks.

Buy a code sign certificate and sign the binaries/MSI, and then that antivirus should be silent.

Actually, I need to install the qbfc13 exe installation file doing my application installation.

I have used vs installer to creating the MSI for my application, there is any chance for merge the qbfc13 exe file to install both applications?

I'm not familiar with qbfc13 but take a look at this SO post regarding merge modules - how-to-add-qbfc-as-a-dependency-in-visual-studio
