    You're going to have to be much more specific than that.

    Do you have the source code for these three apps or just the executables? And what exactly do you want to do with them....

        Well, no, you can't just mash three apps into one.

        If you have the source code, you could write a fourth program that does all that the first three do, but there is no way just to combine the three.

          Are all of these used by your application and you need to package these for deployment?
          Are you trying to create an install application?

              You missed my point....you can't just combine a bunch of applications... think about it. Each one does a different thing. You can't just slap it together. It really depends on what each one does, and how it does it.

              My suggestion was to write a new program that does the job of all three.

                  Do you just want to execute one application after another?

                  Batch files are just text...they don't "contain" other programs, but they can execute them.

                      I'm going to ask again: are you attempting to create an installation program?
