I am editing a .MSI file and one of the properties is email. Is there a way to pull the users email address automatically so during the install they do not have to enter it?

No, it's not possible to automatically retrieve the user's email address during the installation of an MSI file. This is because MSI files are used to install software on a computer, and they do not have access to personal information about the user.
If you want to collect the user's email address during the installation process, you will need to include a field in the installation wizard that prompts the user to enter their email address. You can then store this information in a property of the MSI file, which can be used by the installed software or stored in a configuration file for later use.
One way to do this is to use a custom action in the MSI file to prompt the user for their email address and store it in a property. You can use a custom action to display a dialog box or other user interface element that prompts the user for their email address and then use the MSI API to store the value in a property.
