Torch is used to create transforms (.mst files) by diffing two MSIs but not
used for instance transforms. If you want to create an MSI with instance
transforms, you can do this in your product authoring with the
<InstanceTransforms> and <Instance> elements. See wix.chm for more details.
Example:
<Property Id="TEST" Value="Original Product" />
<InstanceTransforms Property="TEST">
<Instance Id="Instance1"
ProductCode="5B85B612-7124-4566-8E11-59347198D8A9" ProductName="New Product
Name 1" />
<Instance Id="Instance2"
ProductCode="ECB7CF35-AC7E-4373-A58F-0C6DB324AEF2" ProductName="New Product
Name 2" />
</InstanceTransforms>
The MSI property TEST gets set to the Instance Id which you can use to change
install behavior for each instance. The transform for each instance is the
instance Id, which must be specified at install time.
"msiexec /i Product.msi TRANSFORMS=:Instance1 MSINEWINSTANCE=1" will install
Instance1 with an ARP entry "New Product Name 1".

Subject: [WiX-users] InstanceTransforms with wix 3
I need to create a msi installation that has to be run (installed) more than
once (multiple instances of installation) on same computer, and i read this
should be done with instanceTransforms somehow. But i can't find anywhere how
to use this in wix.
I know i'm somehow supposed to use torch to create a transformation but that's
about as much as i know...
I'd really apreceate it if someone could help me, or point me in a direction
with examples...
thank you.
