Yes, in the :doit label is where you would execute the installer. Either run the setup.exe, or run the MSI using msiexec.exe, or run whatever you would normally have to run to install the software.

Batch file to install software  -- only if not already installed

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.
