how to run a setup file(.exe) using pywinauto in windows?

Actually i want some media codecs to be installed through my python code. I have used pyuac to run my script as an admin user in windows so that no authetication related interruption will be displayed.

import pywinauto, time, pyuac
import subprocess 

if not pyuac.isUserAdmin():
    pyuac.runAsAdmin()  

pig = subprocess.Popen(["C:\Users\VAIBH PC\Downloads\windows.8.codec.pack.v2.0.5.setup.exe"], stdin=subprocess.PIPE) 

time.sleep(1.0)
pwa_app = pywinauto.application.Application()

w_handle = pywinauto.findwindows.find_windows(title=u'Windows 8 Codec Pack           Setup', class_name='#32770')[0]
window = pwa_app.window_(handle=w_handle)
window.SetFocus()

ctrl = window['OK']
ctrl.Click()

time.sleep(5)

w_handle = pywinauto.findwindows.find_windows(title=u'Windows 8 Codec Pack   Setup', class_name='#32770')[0]
window = pwa_app.window_(handle=w_handle)
window.SetFocus()

ctrl = window['Button']
ctrl.Click()



ctrl = window['Button2']
ctrl.Click()



w_handle = pywinauto.findwindows.find_windows(title=u'Windows 8 Codec Pack  Setup', class_name='#32770')[0]
window = pwa_app.window_(handle=w_handle)
window.SetFocus()

ctrl = window['Button2']
ctrl.Click()

pwa_app.start_(r'C:\Users\VAIBH PC\Downloads\windows.8.codec.pack.v2.0.5.setup.exe')
