You would need to write your own ExePackage that ran the EXE that did the relevant calling and waited around for child processes. If an error does occur, you'll need to return a non-zero exit code as that's how Burn determines whether a package succeeded or not.
If the exe you're currently calling is just a simple unzipper, then could it be easier to just include the unzipped packages in your bundle and run the installer directly? Additional files can be included for a package with Payload elements inside the ExePackage element.
