Here is what I'm now using to accomplish this w/o needing a setup.exe wrapper,
e.g. you can just double click the msp and/or msi. Initial knowledge share
for the double click msp property settings solution this came from John
Nannenga.
<!-- for msp small update or minor upgrade processing -->
<CustomAction Id="SetMspSmallUpdateOrMinorUpgradeReInstallProperty"
Property="REINSTALL" Value="ALL" />
<CustomAction Id="SetMspSmallUpdateOrMinorUpgradeReInstallModeProperty"
Property="REINSTALLMODE" Value="omus" />
<!-- for msu minor upgrade processing -->
<CustomAction Id="SetMsiMinorUpgradeReInstallProperty" Property="REINSTALL"
Value="ALL" />
<CustomAction Id="SetMsiMinorUpgradeReInstallModeProperty"
Property="REINSTALLMODE" Value="vomus" />
<!-- for msi major upgrade processing -->
<CustomAction Id="SetMsiMajorUpgradePreventDowngradingError" Error="Newer

Subject: [WiX-users] create setup.exe
Hello All,
Small and minor upgrades cannot be run simply by clicking on the .msi
file, Wix Tutorial recommends using a setup.exe to launch it which
includes this command
msiexec /i setup.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus
Could anyone give me a good reference about creating the setup.exe for
this purpose? Thanks.
Jason
