Are you planning on having the xp install on the dvd bootable then just have a directory called "application install files" and when you are done loading windows just run the apps from there? Or are you trying to integrate the applications into the windows xp install so that when xp is installed the apps will already be on there similar to what dell, hp, compact, etc do when you buy a new machine and you have all the trialware on it?
For the later, you can use nLite which allows you to integrate software, windows updates, via Windows Update Downloader, so that when the xp installation is complete it will have many updates and a custom installation done. You can change things such as the administrator password, add software to be installed, auto login on boot by having it input the password for you, which is useful when you are restarting often to install updates and software.
