As DJ has indicated, it is not easy to have an executable update itself in
Windows.
Earnie's method will work. Since setup.exe requires human intervention
to run, you really don't have a choice as far as automating anything is
concerned.
Unless you are willing to make the modifications to setup.exe yourself,
speculating on what "would be nice" is not going to get your problem
solved.
