Assuming you setup your folders like described in that thread (a few posts above the one you linked to) ([this post](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-red-multiple-instances/9787/7)) then you would set your NSSM commands to run each instance in the same way as if you were running it from a cmd window

example...

NSSM1: `node-red -p 1880 -u c:/node-red-1880`  
NSSM2: `node-red -p 1881 -u c:/node-red-1881`  
NSSM3: `node-red -p 1882 -u c:/node-red-1882`

etc etc

Just be sure that the account that runs the NSSM service has read/write access to these folders.
