The open command supports only executable files. So, if you want to launch an msi (miscrosoft installer) file from CD automatically when it is inserted to CD drive, use the following code in the Autorun.inf file.

[autorun] open=msiexec /i myapp.msi icon=myicon.ico label=Install Flash

Here msiexec is the msi executer application (built in). This application is launched automatically from windows to which the parameters /i and myapp.msi is passed. The icon and label can be set as you wish. Replace  myapp.msi with your .msi filename (with relative location). If you want to know more, i recommend you to read this post:
