Provides data for the events: BeforeInstall, AfterInstall, Committing, Committed, BeforeRollback, AfterRollback, BeforeUninstall, AfterUninstall.
For a list of all members of this type, see InstallEventArgs Members.

Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
InstallEventArgs contains an IDictionary that holds information about the current state of the installation. The BeforeInstall, AfterInstall, Committing, Committed, BeforeRollback, AfterRollback, BeforeUninstall, and AfterUninstall event handlers use this information.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example demonstrates the InstallEventArgs constructors and the SavedState property of the InstallEventArgs class.
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] There are two new events called BeforeCommit and AfterCommit. The handlers of these events are invoked from the protected methods named OnBeforeCommit and OnAfterCommit respectively. These events are raised when the Commit method is called.
