C# Code to install MSI silently and know when it is done

If you want to install an application that is packaged as an .MSI and you want to know when the application has finished installing, use this code:

C#

string installerFilePath; installerFilePath = "C:\\Program Files\\CCS\\Downloads\\CCSRPTSetup.msi"; 
System.Diagnostics.Process installerProcess;
 installerProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(installerFilePath, "/q");
 while (installerProcess.HasExited==false) 
{ 
//indicate progress to user 
Application.DoEvents(); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(250); 
} 
MessageBox.Show("done installing");

Above solution doesn't work for setup.exe file. I see such solutions in many places, but don't see any for installing via setup.exe.
