I've been at this for a few days now and it seems there is no way to 
create a bootstrapper that correctly launches msiexec for new installs 
and minor upgrades.  Everyone seems to say not to use minor upgrades and 
instead do a major upgrade (then this wouldn't be a problem) but that is 
realistically not a user friendly option.  First my installs install 
windows services which typically require domain admin credentials.  Next 
many of my customers install to non-standard folders.  So if I force a 
major upgrade then the users have to reset both the windows service 
credentials and possible keep re-pointing to their non-standard install 
directory.  Installs are released weekly...not an option.  So is my only 
solution InstallShield?  It seems so.  Please someone prove me wrong.  
Someone has to have tackled this problem.
