msi to autorun

Hi all,
I am getting trouble while I am building a CD with autorun feature.

What I want that my MSI installer will be automatecally invoked as soon the CD inserted. But it is giving the following error "Access to the specified device, path, or file is denied".

I have the following entries in the autorun.inf file
[autorun]
OPEN=TMI.msi
ICO=TMI.ico


My msi installer is in root of the CD, same for autorun.inf
Note : Even I have tried with .bat file with "start TMI.MSI"

Hi,

In order for your MSI installer to be automatically launched when the CD is inserted, you must change the entry in your INF file from

"OPEN=TMI.msi" to "OPEN=msiexec /i TMI.msi"

All the best,
