I don't have Installshield available to test, but if you have the more expensive versions of Installshield you can create "Suite Projects" which are bundles of different types of installers run in sequence with various forms of logic available to control the installation process. I am not too familiar with it all, but check out the linked help content.

Look for Suite projects in the File => New Projects dialog - or equivalent. As I said, I don't have the tool available to check the exact details.

Taken from this article

For each optional component, you must create a corresponding feature for it, then assign the component to that feature. You then make each of these features optional. During the installation, the user will be able to select or deselect each optional feature, which will in turn and unbeknownst to him, select or deselect the component(s) that belongs to the feature.

So, each app A, B C would be a component that you assign to its own separate feature which you create, and then the user can select the apps that they want.
