How to autorun an MSI file on CD?

[Derrick]

I have this autorun.inf in the root of my cd along with MySetup.msi, doesn't
start my install though, any ideas? Do I need to write a program to kick
off setup.exe?

[AutoRun]
open=MySetup.msi

Thanks in advance!

You can use the shellexecute entry instead of open. It doesn't work on
older versions of Windows though.
