Installing Multiple Instances Of MySQL 5.7 on Windows

How can I install multiple instances of MySQL 5.7 on my Windows PC?

I currently have 3 x MySQL 5.0, 3 x MySQL 5.1, 3 x MySQL 5.5 installed on my PC (not all running at the same time).

I am trying to setup 3 x instances of MySQL 5.7 for testing, but this doesn't seem to be allowed anymore?

In the past I would download the ZIP file, copy the files across, install as a Windows Service and away I go.

But I tried downloading the 5.7 zip file, and there is no Data Directory in it???

I already have one instance installed from a while back, so I tried copying the data Directory from that, but it doesn't work.

So I downloaded the MSI installer, but that only gives me the option to upgrade an existing instance, not Add a new instance.

Even when I click on Add it doesn't give me the option to Add a new one as the MySQL instance is greyed out with the message "Another Version is installed".

Surely there must be a way of installing more than one instance of MySQL 5.7?
