That's the expected behaviour. The layout operation isn't meant to be an
admin install or extraction, its just to create a bundle that can be
installed without an internet connection. I think there was a thread about it
a few weeks back.
I reckon it would be a good feature request, if there isn't one already, to
have an extract switch for the scenario you suggest.

Subject: [WiX-users] Burn /layout doesn't extract embedded resources
frombundle
IIRC this worked a while ago with older WiX v3.6 builds but hasn't for a
while.
If I run my Bundle with the /layout switch, it will download the .NET 4.0
Client Profile redistributable & any other MSI's or MSPs I have in my bundle
which have a DownloadURL specified (and Compressed="no" set).
However any MSI or MSP which doesn't have a DownloadURL specified & is
embedded in the Bundle using the Compressed="yes" attribute isn't extracted
during the layout procedure. This means anyone who wants to use the MSI
directly for managed deployment has to hack around with the Bundle to get at
the MSI (run it as if to install, wait until it's extracted the embedded
files to its temp directory, check the log to find the temp directory then
copy them out of the temp directory & cancel the install).
Code:
<Chain>
<PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40ClientRedist"/>
<MspPackage Id="SharedContentPatch"
SourceFile="..\..\..\install\VESharedContent.msp"
