Property Value

An InstallContext that contains information about the current installation.

Remarks

This property contains information that is used by the Install, Commit, Rollback, and Uninstall methods of this instance; it is set by the program that calls these methods. If an installer is contained in an installer collection, the Parent installer sets the Context property before calling one of these methods.

An InstallContext contains a parsed version of the command line that was entered when the installation executable was run. It contains information such as the path to a log file, whether to display log information on the console, and whether to show a user interface during the installation.
