In your patch generation you need to target the patch for all the product codes
[instances] you want it to be applicable to.
<TargetProductCode Id="PRODUCT_CODE_GUID"/>
<TargetProductCode Id="PRODUCT_CODE_GUID_INSTANCE1"/>
<TargetProductCode Id="PRODUCT_CODE_GUID_INSTANCE2"/>
Etc...

I've been playing around with installing multiple instances of an application
used the <InstanceTransforms /> element, works quite well. I'm trying to
create a patch between 2 versions and apply that one patch to multiple
installed instances and according to

it is possible to do this by running the patch from the command line and
passing in the product id of the installed instance you want to patch. I have
yet to be able to get a patch to install to a second instance correctly,
installing to the base instances works just fine. The error message I get is:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because
the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a
different version of the program."
The command line executed is: msiexec /update 1to2.msp /n
{48F7E3D3-4291-45b0-AA5E-8A78337D95FF}
There is no log created even with /l*v
I included a <Validate /> element wondering if there was some check with the
different product code for the patch that was holding back, no joy.
<PatchBaseline Id="RTM">
<Validate ProductId="no" UpgradeCode="no" ProductVersion="Major"
ProductVersionOperator="GreaterOrEqual"/>
</PatchBaseline>
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
