Windows has a rather curious feature: it allows to hide software in 
"add/remove programs".

For example, it's possible that when you install a program as a SYSTEM 
user, Administrator users will not see it in "add/remove programs".

This sometimes happens for some MSI packages.

A workaround is to add ALLUSERS=1, for example:


msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\package.msi" ALLUSERS=1


Hope this helps.
