not really sure and cannont test now (no Windows pc at home), but I
think msiexec needs another switch to run silently. The way I do it
is:

msiexec /i msifile.msi /qn

so you need to use the /i switch before the path to the *.msi file and
then the /qn switch to do it silently without user interaction. To
uninstall, change /i for /x .

Running as a local admin I get no UAC prompts this way on a windows 7
workstation.
