That is all the information that is required *if* there is only one instance. I am trying to create two services that start two instances automatically, but each using a different home. I want these two instances to start up whenever the server is rebooted. From what I am reading, it does not appear that oradim can handle that on it's own.

In essence I want to be able to the same thing on Windows that dbstart does on Unix - the ability to specify for each instance, what home to use when it starts up.
