Hello folks,

confirming, still present.

I've found a stable link via Internet Archive/Wayback machine:

--- quote ---
The Custom Action Type 7 is used with concurrent installations. Concurrent
installations are not recommended for the installation of applications intended
for release to the public. For more information about concurrent installations
please see Concurrent Installations.

This custom action installs another installer package that is nested inside of
the first package.

--- quote ---
* Concurrent installations cannot share components.
* An administrative installation cannot also contain a concurrent installation.
* Patching and upgrading may not work with concurrent installations.
* The installer may not properly cost a concurrent installation.
* Integrated ProgressBars cannot be used with concurrent installations.
* Resources that are to be advertised cannot be installed by the concurrent
installation.
* A package that performs a concurrent installation of an application should
also uninstall the concurrent application when the parent product is
uninstalled. <--- (!)

Not sure which part of "Concurrent installations are not recommended for the
installation of applications intended for release to the public." MindJet
developers/packagers didn't understand.
