Windows Installer troubles

I have searched the topics and can not find one that addresses the issue I
have with Windows Installer. If you run msiexec.exe without any command line
options and the file you want to install you should get a help window that
displays the command line options and how to use them. So far so good, that
part seems to work for me. Now when I run "msiexec.exe /i and C:filename.msi
/Lime logfile.log" I expect 'filename.mis' to install and a logfile be
created. Instead I get the same help window that explains the command line
opptions and how to use them. This also happens if I try to execute
'filename.msi'.
I am running Windows XP Pro X64.
I would like to install the window defender and it is a .msi file and will
not install. I would also like to install the Intro to VB 2008 Express.msi
too ...

Any help is greatly appreciated.
