Look up setup.exe & msistuff.exe in the Windows SDK. It does basically what you're asking for. Most bootstrappers will have some support for this. I've never used setupbld.exe myself but you could do something this simple by wrapping your MSI in a self-extracting archive using 7zip, WinRAR etc.

One of the requirement we get is that customers should just double clikc the installer to install. I am wondering if there are setup wrapper tool that can generate an exe which includes the MSI and invokes it by passing the value to the property. I looked at setupbld.exe. From the help menu, it does not seem to me that it does the above. Thanks for help!
