You have to create unique components for each transform. These components will contain the non file data (registry keys). This is what I am doing and it works great.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Multiple Instances and Component IDs Hi, Ya, that part works fine. It's the bit about 'non-file' components that I'm working through right now (services and registry entries). At the moment these components do not have unique guids so they don't behave as desired. The link I posted presents a solution to that, but since that post kind of old I thought I'd see if anyone had since come up with any better solutions.
