Bernd, While it is not documented in the article you reference (but probably should be) custom action types 7, 23 and 39 are deprecated.
For more details, see the various blog entries by the windows installer team - especially http://blogs.msdn.com/windows_installer_team/archive/2006/11/06/q-a-from-latest-windows-installer-webcast-available.aspx where they state "Nested installs are still supported in [Windows Installer] 4.0. 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. Do not use concurrent installations to install products that are intended to be released to the public."
