Can I install other applications using Install-KbUpdate

Yes, but. Yes, I've done it before but there's limited support because this module is intended for kb updates which are somewhat predictable. But if you'd like to try, ensure that you know the silent switch for the application. Otherwise, kbupdate will probably guess wrong and wait infinitely for a hidden prompt.

# successfully install notepad++, for example
$parms = @{
    ComputerName = "localhost"
    FilePath = "$home\Downloads\npp.8.4.6.Installer.x64.exe"
    ArgumentList = "/S"
    Verbose = $true
}
