Possible solution:

IF you have MM Flash 5.0 or higher (preferably), set up a movie where it
redirects you to a file in the first frame (your html file) and closes
itself using the FSCommand:

Frame1:
getURL ("myfile.html", "_blank") //maybe "file:///D:/myfile.htm" assuming
that d: is their CD-Rom
					   //absolute vs. relative could
work either way
Frame2:
on(load) {
   fscommand("quit")  // reference page 1215 of Flash 5 Bible
			    // closes the stand-alone flash player
}

Then publish that stuff as a yourfile.exe.

In your autorun file

[autorun]
open=yourfile.exe  	// just created

It's sloppy but it will work.

HTH,

Rob
