Something like:

msiexec /a msifile.msi TARGETDIR=pathofyourchoice

See ms installer command line reference and properties reference to not get lost.

I didnt understand anything about it, I made the admin install, but I don't know how to do the rest..

Now that you have the admin install use a compressor to make a self-extracting packet containing the admin install. This sel-extracting installer should run the embedded admin install with something like:

msifile.msi /qn norestart

/qn means completely silent, /qb means progress bar with cancel button, /passive means progress bar without cancel button (but this one cannot be used with windows installer versions previous to 3.0, so don't use it for win2k). Extra options vary upon your needings, see windows installer options in the link I dropped in my previous post. If you want the extraction process to be silent too I recommend you use 7-zip SFX modified module, that lets you hide the unzipping progress bar, for building the self-extracting packet, and 7-zip for compressing it.

Here you'll find a tutorial on how to do it with the modified or the original SFX module. If you use the modified SFX module you don't need msistub.exe because the modified module makes its work. Dialog section modification in poing 8 of the tutorial only applies to 7-zip SFX original module.
