I'm trying to install a program and need it to run silently.

In a command prompt I am able to run oddownloadstationsetup.msi /quiet /passive 
and it works, but it first brought up a security warning window about what to 
do with these types of files. I unchecked the box about prompting me to do it 
again, deleted the program from my computer and rebooted to see if the package 
would install it and all that happens is the program launches, but gets hung on 
a screen that is being obscured from my vision (however it is about the same 
size as that security warning box).

My thoughts are I need to find a way to run the program as a admin to bypass 
the security issue but that's not a great idea long term as I will need to 
update and want the package to be able to handle it with the user accounts on 
the machines currently.

Also for trouble shooting purposed, by package header and footer is good, I 
have the remove commands, its in my profiles folder and my host folder is 
naming out my computer specifically, so its nothing to do with how its arranged.

Anyone have any ideas? Code below.

<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="OverDrive Download Station" />
                        
<!-- Install Overdrive Download Station -->
<install cmd='msiexec %SOFTWARE%\overdrive\Download 
Station\ODDownloadStationSetup.msi /quiet /passive' />
                
<!-- Upgrade Overdrive Download Station -->
<upgrade cmd='msiexec %SOFTWARE%\overdrive\Download 
Station\ODDownloadStationSetup.msi /quiet /passive' />
