Extract information from the Manifest

description

The solution installer needs to know the solution GUID and in the V1.x installer it is required to provide this in the installer config file. But it is not optimal to have it duplicated here - a better approach would be if the installer just gets it from the Manifest.xml file in the solution package.

Eugene's point is a good point about features -- but I don't think it is relevant to this issue about getting the solution ID.

Consider the following scenario. A solution containing a set of features was installed. Shortly afterwards one of the features has been removed from the solution and an attempt for upgrade or repair action is made with the Installer. Since there's no information anymore in the Manifest about the removed feature it will not be deactivated during the installation process.
