You can copy an MSI package manually to the network share point.
Note Microsoft recommends that MSI packages be installed on a share point using the following command at the command line: msiexec /a
. This command string uncompresses the cabinet file (.cab) and allows you to set package properties such as the product ID. After entering the command, the software prompts you for the share point to the package.
Microsoft has this information at:

/p PatchPackage Applies a patch. To apply a patch to an installed administrative image you must combine options as follows:
/p /a
/q n|b|r|f Sets user interface level.
q , qn - No UI
qb - Basic UI . Use qb! to hide the Cancel button.
qr - Reduced UI with no modal dialog box displayed at the end of the installation.
qf - Full UI and any authored FatalError, UserExit, or Exit modal dialog boxes at the end.
qn+ - No UI except for a modal dialog box displayed at the end.
qb+ - Basic UI with a modal dialog box displayed at the end. The modal box is not displayed if the user cancels the installation. Use qb+! or qb!+ to hide the Cancel button.
qb- - Basic UI with no modal dialog boxes. Please note that /qb+- is not a supported UI level. Use qb-! or qb!- to hide the Cancel button.
Note that the ! option is available with Windows Installer version 2.0 and works only with basic UI. It is not valid with full UI.
/? or /h Displays copyright information for Windows Installer.
/y module Calls the system API DllRegisterServer to self-register modules passed in on the command line. For example, msiexec /y MY_FILE.DLL.
This option is only used for registry information that cannot be added using the registry tables of the .msi file.
/z module Calls the system API DllUnRegisterServer to unregister modules passed in on the command line. For example, msiexec /z MY_FILE.DLL.
This option is only used for registry information that cannot be removed using the registry tables of the .msi file.
/c Advertises a new instance of the product. Must be used in conjunction with /t. Available starting with the Windows Installer version shipped with the Windows Server 2003 family and Windows XP SP1.
/n ProductCode Specifies a particular instance of the product. Used to identify an instance installed using the multiple instance support through a product code changing transforms. Available starting with the Windows Installer version shipped with the Windows Server 2003 family and Windows XP SP1.

The options /i, /x, /f[p|o|e|d|c|a|u|m|s|v], /j[u|m], /a, /p, /y and /z should not be used together. The one exception to this rule is that patching an administrative installation requires using both /p and /a. The options /t, /c and /g should only be used with /j. The options /l and /q can be used with /i, /x, /f[p|o|e|d|c|a|u|m|s|v], /j[u|m], /a, and /p. The option /n can be used with /i, /f, /x and /p.
To install a product from A:\Example.msi, install the product as follows:
msiexec /i A:\Example.msi
Only public properties can be modified using the command line. All property names on the command line are interpreted as uppercase but the value retains case sensitivity. If you enter MyProperty at a command line, the installer overrides the value of MYPROPERTY and not the value of MyProperty in the Property table. For more information, see About Properties.
To install a product with PROPERTY set to VALUE use the following syntax on the command line. You can put the property anywhere except between an option and its argument.
Correct syntax:
msiexec /i A:\Example.msi PROPERTY=VALUE
Incorrect syntax:
msiexec /i PROPERTY=VALUE A:\Example.msi />
Property values that are literal strings must be enclosed in quotation marks. Include any white spaces in the string between these marks.
msiexec /i A:\Example.msi PROPERTY="Embedded White Space"
To clear a public property using the command line, set its value to an empty string.
msiexec /i A:\Example.msi PROPERTY=""
For sections of text set apart by literal quotation marks, enclose the section with a second pair of quotation marks.
msiexec /i A:\Example.msi PROPERTY="Embedded ""Quotes"" White Space"
The following is an example of a complicated command line.
msiexec /i testdb.msi INSTALLLEVEL=3 /l* msi.log COMPANYNAME="Acme ""Widgets"" and ""Gizmos."""
The following example illustrates advertisement options. Note that switches are not case sensitive.
msiexec /JM msisample.msi /T transform.mst /LIME logfile.txt
