How does it fail (symptoms, error messages)?
Did you validate your .msi file?
What are the exact steps you did?

[Stefan Krueger]

Also you need to be on XP SP1 or higher. In XP RTM this won't work.

Hello Stefan,
What I did is this.
I have a product
1. I created copy of this product
2. I modify ProductCode property Property table guid (change one number there).
3 I modify ProductName in the Property table
4 Created InstanceID in Property table set it to 1
5.Generate transform file from the copy and

msiexec /i mypackage.msi TRANSFORMS=instance.mst MSINEWINSTANCE=1

Hi I am sorry again but I am doing something wrong over here could someone tell me if he/she has some experience with Installing Multiple Instance

I use instance transform and that work very well.
Maybe you have to put your value for Product Code, Product Name and Package code in the table ISProductConfigurationInstance.
