Actually this is possible with multiple instance transforms if you follow a few
simple design guides. I discuss it in detail on my blog. InstallShield has
custom tables to teach the build engine to generate and embed these tables and
I've recently written some XML driven custom automation to allow you to
generate and embed the transforms into packages made by other tools sets.
If WiX doesn't have an element to describe this story you could use my
automation until it does.

I dont think that this is possible because of the GUIDs which
would have to be different every time you install the package.
Try to build an installer which copies the same files into different
locations instead.

Subject: [WiX-users] Wix multiple installs
Hi
I am trying to create WIX install that could be installed multiple times on
one machine. To explain myself better I need to be able to install the same
application on one computer several times in different locations (there is a
good reason for this). Currently every time I install new into a new location
it uninstalls the application in the old location and there is only one entry
in the instaled application windows (Add or Remove Programs) where I would like
to have as many entries as installed applications.
I wonder if its possible to do it and if anyone knows how I would appreciate
any hints.
Regards
Daniel
