Wix Installer - bundle creating one file from multiple files

This is the code for my bundle.wxs I have another project creating AppInstaller.msi file and I have many 3rd parties like .NET 4.5 and c++ redistributable.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" 
     xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension"
     xmlns:bal="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension" 
     xmlns:netfx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/NetFxExtension">

 <Bundle Name="APP" Version="0.0.0.60" 
         Manufacturer="me" UpgradeCode="PUT-GUID-HERE">
  <Chain>
      <!-- TODO: Define the list of chained packages. -->
      <PackageGroupRef Id="Netfx45FullPackage" />
  </Chain>
 </Bundle>

  <Fragment>
    <!--checking for matlab 2012a installation-->
    <util:RegistrySearch Id="MatlabPath" Variable="MatlabPathExists" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\MathWorks\MATLAB\4.17" Result="exists" Win64="yes" />

      <ExePackage Id="vcredist_2010_x64" Cache="no" Compressed="no" PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="no" InstallCommand="/q" SourceFile="..\SetupProject\vcredist_x64_2010.exe" InstallCondition="(VersionNT &gt;= v6.0 OR VersionNT64 &gt;= v6.0)" DetectCondition="redist2010Exists" />
      <ExePackage Id="Netfx45Xxx" Cache="no" Compressed="no" PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="no" InstallCommand="/q" SourceFile="..\SetupProject\dotnetfx45_full_x86_x64.exe" DetectCondition="(Netfx4FullVersion=&quot;4.5.50709&quot;) AND (NOT VersionNT64 OR (Netfx4x64FullVersion=&quot;4.5.50709&quot;))" InstallCondition="(VersionNT &gt;= v6.0 OR VersionNT64 &gt;= v6.0) AND (NOT (Netfx4FullVersion=&quot;4.5.50709&quot; OR Netfx4x64FullVersion=&quot;4.5.50709&quot;))" />
      <ExePackage Id="MatlabMCR2012a64" Cache="no" Compressed="no" PerMachine="yes" Permanent="yes" Vital="no" InstallCommand="/q" SourceFile="..\SetupProject\MCR_R2012a_win64_installer.exe" DetectCondition="MatlabMCRPathExists OR MatlabPathExists" />
      <MsiPackage Id="App" Cache="no" Compressed="no" DisplayInternalUI="yes" Vital="yes" SourceFile="$(var.installerPath)\APPInstaller.msi" />
    </PackageGroup>
  </Fragment>
</Wix>

1: How can I create one setup.exe file from all of the files?

2: How Can I create a subfolder with all of the files?

update: in order to createa subfolder just add the attribute Name=""

so 

<MsiPackage Id="App" Cache="no" Compressed="no" DisplayInternalUI="yes" Vital="yes" SourceFile="$(var.installerPath)\APPInstaller.msi" />

becomes this:

<MsiPackage Id="App" Cache="no" Name="Files\APPInstaller.msi" Compressed="no" DisplayInternalUI="yes" Vital="yes" SourceFile="$(var.installerPath)\APPInstaller.msi" />

In order to embed your installers into the bundle, you should set the attribute Compressed to Yes on your ExePackage and MsiPackage nodes.
