How can I create a single .MSI installer file for many Remote Apps in Remote Desktop Services?

Suppose I have 10 applications exposed via RDS. To make life easier I created MSI installer packages so users can "install" those apps. currently I have 10 different .msi files which forces users to install 10 times. Is it possible to make all/some apps into a single .msi file?

(I don't control user machines so installing via GPO or other magic is out of question).
