you have three major option to install software:
1. (the best for 99.9% of the software) Distribution|Managed Install if you only have one EXE file or MSI
Just fill out all fields for your MSI or EXE file and use the silent parameters. I suggest to use "overwrite default" and write the full commandline: msiexec /i software.msi /qn (if the msi you have is named software.msi)
For exe-files you need to use this option anyways. But depending on the packaging the silent parameters can be different. Contact the software vendor for help here.

2. (if you need additional parameters, files etc) Create a script under Scripting. You can also use the Scripting| Configuration Policies| Windows MSI installer to do so

3. (if it is "Stickware" or does not need to be installed but just unzipped) Create a File Sync under Distribution | File Synchronization
