Autorun an MSI file on CD

Question

Does anyone have an example AUTORUN.INF which can launch an MSI installer automatically when the user inserts the CD.

I'm sure this can be done but I've been Googling around for ages and have not found any working solution.

UPDATE: I have an AUTORUN.INF similar to this but it won't launch the installer:

[autorun]
open=MyInstaller-1.0.0.msi
label=My CD Label
icon=MyIcon.ico

Answer 1

Try shellexecute= instead of open=

[autorun]
shellexecute=MyInstaller-1.0.0.msi
label=My CD Label
icon=MyIcon.ico

Answer 2

I can answer my own question. After reading the articles linked by Ray, I have created the following AUTORUN.INF which works:

[autorun]
shellexecute=MyInstaller-1.0.0.msi
label=My CD Label
icon=MyIcon.ico

The AUTORUN.INF file is placed in the root directory of the CD along with the icon file and msi file referred to.

Answer 3

Yea, I was just going to suggest shellexecute=. Grats.
