I have properly overwrite commit in InstallerSetup.cs I do not wish to write the user entered value to app.config but rather I want to pass the string Context.Parameters["TESTPARAMETER"]; to another class in form1.cs on load function. I tried string test = InstallerSetup.Context.Parameters["TESTPARAMETER"]; but getting InstallerSetup.Context is null . Please Help.

InstallerSetup.cs

public override void Commit(IDictionary savedState)
{
base.Commit(savedState);
try
{
SQLSERVERNAME = Context.Parameters["SQLSERVERNAME"];
HMSTENANTDB = Context.Parameters["HMSTENANTDB"];
SQLLOGIN = Context.Parameters["SQLLOGIN"];
SQLPASSWORD = Context.Parameters["SQLPASSWORD"];
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Failed to update the application configuration file : " + e.Message);
base.Rollback(savedState);
}
}

from1.cs

InstallerSetup InsSetup = new InstallerSetup();
string Vsqlserver = InsSetup.Installers.Count.ToString();
string Vtenant = "";
if (InsSetup.Context != null)
{
Vtenant = InsSetup.Context.Parameters["HMSTENANTDB"];
}
else
{
Vtenant = "context is null";
}

Yes you are right. Log file is missing. Cannot access directly. Thanks anyway.

The Context property contains installation information. For example, information about the location of the log file for the installation.if you are not able to access directly then try with constroctor
public string SQLSERVERNAME, HMSTENANTDB, SQLLOGIN, SQLPASSWORD;
       public InstallerSetup()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
           SQLSERVERNAME = Context.Parameters["SQLSERVERNAME"];
           HMSTENANTDB = Context.Parameters["HMSTENANTDB"];
           SQLLOGIN = Context.Parameters["SQLLOGIN"];
           SQLPASSWORD = Context.Parameters["SQLPASSWORD"];
       }
And access with object like..

InstallerSetup InsSetup = new InstallerSetup();
    var SqlServer =  InsSetup.SQLSERVERNAME;
