How to get the path where MSI is being installed within installer class

I have added an Installer class and within the class i'm overriding Install method. Within this method i want to get the path where MSI is being installed? (Directory user have chosen to install the application) ?

I tried the following and it gives me empty string,

string s = Context.Parameters["SrcDir"];

I have iterated over all the available parameters to my installer class and found it only has:

Param: logfile, Value: 
Param: lo, Value: 1           // custom parameter set in custom install action
Param: action, Value: install
Param: installtype, Value: notransaction
Param: assemblypath, Value: D:\InstallerTrialHelper.dll

From it, I see we can use assemblypath directory to know which install directory is selected by user.
