Admin install usually gets the job done. (seup.exe /a) (C:\WINDOWS\System32\msiexec.exe /A "pathto\file.msi")
Get WICLIB from here to do this and creat MSI commands quickly (free).

Otherwise,
ORCA
Installshield Adminstudio, X, DevStudio
Wise Package Studio, Wise for windows Installer
MaSaI

would be more robust in extraction and manipulation.
