I'm having a trouble installing a .msi or .exe file in PowerShell set in my script

I'm doing a script in PowerShell and I have to install the administration console. I have two installers, .msi and .exe for this one.

My script has to install it and it can't do it because the script stops when the installation GUI appears.

I was reviewing some webpages and I noticed something about silent mode so I try with this script

$pathvargs = {C:\_projects\xxxx\Current\Deployment\SupplementalInstalls\Administration\setup.exe /S /v/qn }
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock $pathvargs

but a Windows Installer popup thrown explaining me how are the commands for a windows installation, so I try with these scripts too: 

$product = [WMICLASS]"\\MyMachine\ROOT\CIMV2:win32_Product"
$product.Install("C:\_projects\xxxx\Current\Deployment\SupplementalInstalls\Administration\AdminConsole.msi")

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\_projects\xxxx\Current\Deployment\SupplementalInstalls\Administration\setup.exe" -ArgumentList "/S /v/qn"

Same windows installation poop up appears.

I can't install the administration console using my script, can anyone help me?

If you have the MSI, do it through MSIExec.exe in Powershell, i.e.:

Invoke-Expression "msiexec.exe /i 'C:\_projects\xxxx\Current\Deployment\SupplementalInstalls\Administration\AdminConsole.msi' /quiet /norestart /L 'install.log'" -ErrorAction Stop
