As usual , We need to use Runtime.getRuntime() method.
I tried this code in  Windows Server 2008 R2.
A sample code is shown below.

try {
       Runtime run = Runtime.getRuntime();
       run.exec("rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL msiexec /qb /i C:\\flash_ie.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress");
}
catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
 
How ever this does not worked in Windows Server 2012 Edition.

At last this command worked both in Windows Server 2008 Rs and Windows Server 2012 .

"msiexec  /i  <Full_Path_To_MSI>"
