And if also using Burn I believe there are some other limitations.

That's the solution. See InstanceTransforms element.

Hi,
I have a requirement to allow multiple instances of same application and it should support major upgrade aswell.

I can do multiple installation by altering product code, upgrade code & product name. But, altering upgrade code will not support major upgrade.

I guess 'Authoring Multiple Instances with Instance Transforms' is the only option. More info on this are available in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367797(v=vs.85).aspx

I am unable to find any examples on this transforms. Can anyone provide example project on this? else can anyone suggest a way to achieve my requirement?

Thanks
