In the property manager create a sample property "PROPERTY_TO_TEST" and set it to 0. Add a new function in install script and use MsiSetProperty to set the value to 1. At the end of installation catch the event during Finish button click and if we read the value of the property it is '0'. The installer is resetting the properties to default value. In my case I have a property which refers to some path and during Finish button click, I need to use the path for launching something from that path.
