Setup.exe, "Anything" : Too long for a comment. A setup.exe can be "anything" - made using many different tools and feature many different technologies - and there is no general rule for how to install them silently.

Existing Answers : I can provide some links as a start, until we know more about what this file really is:

• How to run an installation in /silent mode with adjusted settings
• Silent run installer (.exe) with parameters on Windows
• Extract MSI from EXE

Please skim these links, I guess the first one might be the most accessible? Not sure.
