Q1 - does running upgrade msi or patch msi still require additional command 
line switches?

In the WiX tutorial Lesson 4 Upgrades and modularization details it talks about 
needing the use the following command line switches to run an upgrade msi

    "msiexec /i SampleUpgrade2.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus"

and the following command line switches to run a patch msi

    "msiexec /p Patch.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus"

Q2 - I seem to recall running into upgrade capable msi's and patch msp's that I 
could simple double click on and successfully upgrade or patch an existing msi 
install w/o the need for launching from a command line and including the noted 
switch settings.   Are those upgrade msi and patch msp's doing something custom 
to avoid the need for that command line parameter?

Q3 - Is the tutorial denoted difference in the REINSTALLMODE switch setting for 
a upgrade msi and patch msp, i.e. "vomus" versus "omus", a typo or is the v 
some kind of verbose reinstall mode flag?
