An actual installation is detected by the product name and the GUID in the
registry.
Maybe You have a header like this in Your Product.wxs-file:
<Product Id="1D586513-55DE-4CE7-BC1D-B0B9FDA0EE01"
Name="<ProductName>"
Language="1031"
Version="<BuildVersion>"
Manufacturer="<Manufacturer>"
UpgradeCode="<UpgradeGuid>"
Codepage="UTF-8">
But when You change the Id to "*", then bye ach Rebuild a new GUID will be
generated.
In case You have no other detect mechanisms in Your Product.wxs, You will be
able to install the MSI multiple times.
But - attention! - You have to rebuild it each time, before You make an new
installation.
And there is danger in sight, because it's pretty funny to uninstall these
installations, because You will can't make difference between the several
installation in ControlPanel/Programs.
At my opinion that's up ton o good.
But that's only my opinion.
Good luck!

I was able to run the EXE package twice by changing the name.
I have requirement for MSI to work as similar to EXE.
