The following will update the association:

    assoc .msi=Msi.Package

As to why it worked in the console shell, there you specified the /i
option and filename manually, i.e. "msiexec /i python-2.7.5.msi".

Since your user account is a member of Administrators, you shouldn't
have to install as *the* Administrator -- at least not in my
experience.
