I named these

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\MySQLData\Instance1

mysqld –install "Mysql-Instance-1" –defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\Conf\Instance.1.ini"
mysqld –install "Mysql-Instance-2" –defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\Conf\Instance.2.ini"
mysqld –install "Mysql-Instance-3" –defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\Conf\Instance.3.ini"
