Installing 3 installers?
Do you mean installing 3 products? Why not just have 3 Sections or SectionGroups with Sections inside them?

What do these 3 'installs' consist of? If not 3 .exe files, then what are they exactly?

Just create an installer that runs the 3 exe's in silent install mode.

Have three different Sections and in them execute the installers with ExecWait. If they're InstallShield installers, you'll need to pass an extra switch on the command line to make it wait (usually /sms).

Are you using ExecWait?

Make sure you keep the parameters seperate from the command path:

Section "Install_InstallerServiceSetup.exe" SEC02
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\InstallerServiceSetup.exe" /sms'
SectionEnd

Section "Install_HCInst.exe" SEC03
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\HCInst.exe" /s /sms'
SectionEnd

Section "Install_WSAMInstNt.exe" SEC04
ExecWait '"$INSTDIR\WSAMInstNt.exe" /s /sms'
SectionEnd
