To deploy our code, we create MSI installers using Visual Studio. One problem I encountered is that there is no property available in code to know where the user has chosen to install the application.

To deploy our code, we create MSI installers using Visual Studio. One problem I encountered is that there is no property available in code to know where the user has chosen to install the application.

After some searching and testing, I now use the following code to get the installation path:

// Installer Application Folder
string installPath = Context.Parameters["assemblypath"];
installPath = installPath.Substring(0, installPath.LastIndexOf("\\"));


if (!installPath.EndsWith("\\"))
{
  installPath += "\\";
}

That is all!
