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.

You may want to see the Wikipedia page for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IExpress

You need to upload / link the installer file somewhere. Without the real installer it is blind guessing what the correct parameter for this package is.

There are tons of different installer types around. Mostly you can run the installer with the paramter "/?" to see the supported parameters. If you have both exe and msi file in the same structure it is sometimes safer to use the exe file.
