This needs some tweaking in the web server that hosts your website so that the .exe file would actually be a php or asp file that triggers the tracking and than the download. What we do here is to make sure all the links from within the software are tagged with variables so we know exactly how many people come from the software product. After all this is what interests as most. Tracking 3rd party download directories is not an easy task, basically because many download directoris don’t allow anything else but direct .exe links.
