Use the following command to perform the extraction:

msiexec /a filepath to MSI file /qb TARGETDIR=filepath to target folder

Replace filepath with the path of the MSI file.
Replace filepath to target folder with the path of the folder you want the files to be extracted to

Example: msiexec /a c:\myfile.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\myfolder

Press Enter and you're done. The files within the MSI installer will be extracted to the folder you specified.
