Extract it to a directory by running: 

FileFormatConverters.exe /extract:C:\My\Path

wpkg packages.xml fragment: 

<package id="off2007fmtconv" name="Office 2007 Compatibility Pack" revision="1" priority="1" reboot="false">
 <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system" />
 <install cmd='msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\Office_2007_Compatibility_Pack\O12Conv.msi"' />
 <upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\Office_2007_Compatibility_Pack\O12Conv.msi"' />
 <remove cmd='msiexec /qn /x{90120000-0020-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}' />
</package>

You can use the following logical check so that the package set will run against machines with Office 2000 and 2003, but not on machines that already have 2007 installed. 

<check type="logical" condition="or">
  <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system" />
  <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007" />
</check>


If you want to install this without extracting first you can use the following script: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packages>
<package
	id="off2007fmtconv"
	name="Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office System"
	revision="200803131"
	priority="1">

	<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Compatibility Pack for the 2007 Office system" />

	<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\off2007fmtconv\FileFormatConverters.exe /q' />

	<upgrade cmd='%SOFTWARE%\off2007fmtconv\FileFormatConverters.exe /q' />

	<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /x {90120000-0020-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}' />
</package>
</packages>
