Title: Make htmlInstaller use edit control values, not contents.

(This is an issue from CodePlex, issue 10447)

When using an `` element in an HTML page, htmlInstaller does not populate values so they can be used by components.

The sample configuration.xml has an element ``, but any value put in this box is not visible to components (the log says: "Setting user-defined edit value 'TestValueFromHtml'=")

I think the solution is to use the element's value (`elt.get_value().to_string()`) instead of it's HTML contents (`elt.get_html(false)`). This resolves the issue in my testing; the log file shows the value when calling the MSI component.

# configuration.xml

# index.html
