How to enable packages that are downloaded and configured by NuGet in a WiX installer project?

I know if there are only DLL files downloaded via NuGet, I can install WiX during installation. But my question is: is there a way to include packages installed by NuGet in the WiX MSI installer project?

eg. If there are installation / installation packages (EXE / MSI) downloaded and installed by NuGet, how can I install them through the WiX installer? Do I need to find all this setup loaded by NuGet and create a Wi-Fi download project for WiX?

I have this question because I feel that developers use NuGet to receive packages during development, but for users using the final product, they are likely to install the final product using the installation or the installer, in my case created using WiX. Therefore, the WiX installer must also install / copy packages (dll, exes, etc.) downloaded using NuGet.

I am using VS 2012 Express update.

Thank.
