nest installation hyper link is busted
main custom action page and the help where it reads
"....To learn more, see Concurrent Installations in the Windows Installer Help Library. "
takes you to the French page that says
"Contenu introuvable
La page demandée est introuvable. "
so where is the help?

In InstallShield 2012 Spring that link takes you to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/concurrent_installations.asp
But that's a dead link on msdn.
A msdn search of "Concurrent_installations" finds:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368010(v=vs.85).aspx
That says:
Concurrent Installations, also called Nested Installations, is a deprecated feature of the Windows Installer. Applications installed with concurrent installations can eventually fail because they are difficult for customers to service correctly...
