No help available in assistant when installing a Qt from a shadow build

Test case
1) create a shadow build directory, eg \build\qt\4.7
2) change into directory \build\qt\4.7
3) configure Qt with at least -prefix \Qt\4.7
4) run nmake docs && nmake install_qchdocs
5) confirm that directory \Qt\4.7\doc\qch exists and contains qt.qch

.

Ideally check that the non-shadow build Qt works as expected,eg:
1) Remove directory \Qt\4.7\doc\qch
2) extract Qt 4.7 source package into \build\qt\4.7_source
3) change into directory \build\qt\4.7_source
4) configure Qt with at least -prefix \Qt\4.7
5) run nmake docs && nmake install_qchdocs
6) confirm that directory \Qt\4.7\doc\qch exists and contains qt.qch
