Can't you just redirect the output to a file or | Out-Null?

For your information, .EXE with a self extractor should behave like "normal" zip file. And there is a lot of help on the Web on working with ZIP files under PowerShell.

However, the problem is: one of reason to ZIP data is having big volumes of data. If you want to unzip data in memory, you may face a problem. But if you unzip data just to some files, it should not be a problem.

Those archives don't have a "silent" option that I know of. The only way to get it extracted silently would be to use an outside ZIP utility, like 7ZIP or WinZip, to extract the content. At least those have options to do it silently.
