Solution 1

Why can't you store the installation path of your class library say some where like registry and then you can read it back.
Or use AppData folder to store necessary information

C#

string installationPath =Parent.Context.Parameters["assemblypath"].ToString();
installationPath =installationPath.Substring(0, installationPath.LastIndexOf("\\")));
