I started out trying to get this to install like you did by extracting the msi file 
from the installer. Although it worked on winxp, the msi would not install on 
win7-64bit. I think there was even an error message saying that the msi would not 
install directly. In the end, I simplified like this:

<package id="openoffice" name="OpenOffice.org 3.3.0">
<check type="uninstall" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="OpenOffice.org 3.3" 
value="3.3.9567" />
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\OOo\OOo3-3install\setup.exe" /qn' />	
<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\OOo\OOo3-3install\setup.exe" /qn' />
</package>

I did not bother customizing the install to the extent shown in the wiki. I used to 
do that when I used the msi method, but I didn't see how to do it with the setup.exe.
