Install-ChocolateyPackage $packageName $fileType $silentArgs $url $url64bit

##Description This will download a native installer from a url and install it on your machine. Has error handling built in. You do not need to surround this with try catch if it is the only thing in your chocolateyInstall.ps1.

##Parameters ###$packageName This is an arbitrary name.

###$fileType (important) Pick only one to leave here.

Defaults to the 32bit url.

###$validExitCodes (optional) - v0.9.8.14+
