WiX cannot create Transform files. Yet. Rob? :-)

You will need to use another tool to create the transform files. MSDN  
also has an article "Authoring Multiple Instances with Instance  
Transforms" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa367797.aspx)  
which contains a list of what to actually include in the transforms  
and what the original .msi has to concider.

Unfortunally it's not just a switch as is in the old setup days  
(http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=170406).
