Separate solutions or separate projects? – NicoRiff Jan 22 '18 at 16:45

@NicoRiff separate solutions. – Dutt93 Jan 22 '18 at 16:46

if they are related and must be setup at the same time why aren't they in the same solution with different projects? – Behzad Jan 22 '18 at 16:49

@Behzad they are not related they have their own job, but i have to install all of them in same system. – Dutt93 Jan 22 '18 at 16:51

@Dutt93 the simplest way is to make another solution and put every other solution in a folder and make the installer for that solution – Behzad Jan 22 '18 at 16:58

It's not clear why this is a difficulty, but perhaps you are stuck with the idea that the "project output" idea in a setup project means that you can have only one solution's output in a setup project.
The easiest thing to do is to create the setup project and then add (to the Application Folder) each of the service executables (which I assume have installer classes). Then add the three service executable installer classes as custom actions. To state the obvious, you allowed to have more than one custom action to install a service.
