An IU can have one artifact, which typically is a jar or zip file, but
it can really be any file. You can write touchpoint instructions that
operate on the artifact when installing and uninstalling (some already
exists e.g. unzipping, cleaning up an unzip, copy, remove).
The artifact resides in an artifact repository, and it in turn point to
the actual artifact (an URL to download).
You can naturally also package your file inside the jar (or some other
jar, like a plugin that only contains resources like this...).
It all depends on what you trying to achieve.
So - Answer is 'yes'.
Hope that helps.

You should view the exe as an artefact and have an IU that describes it.
Other IUs should depend on it.
The instructions to install it will be given the reference to the
artifact - it is in some variable (but I don't remember the name).
