You can install an MSI package in much the same way as a yum package. For instance:
"packages" : { "msi" : { "mysql" : "URL or path to file on disk", "package2" : "path to another MSI" } }
Note that the names do not matter - cfn-init will extract the ProductCode from the MSI in order to determine if the package is already installed or not. MSIs are also installed for all users with reboots suppressed.
I'm afraid we do not actually support services on Windows yet, but it is a feature that is definitely on our roadmap. Until then you can use the "net" command from within the command section to start services from cfn-init.
Thanks, Adam
