If you want to stick with MSI, you may want to take a look at the answer to this question: Silent installation of a MSI package

Can I suggest you try using IExpress? This program is installed in the SYSTEM32 folder of most Windows installations, and is designed for silent installations. Try pressing Win+R, then enter iexpress, and click Ok.
