No, it doesn't seem like you made use of it :-)
You did try to use the tx_install class. I use t3lib_install instead.
the tx_install class makes a redirect, which makes it impossible to use 
in a good way.

     /**
      * Writes a configuration line to localconf.php.
      * We don't use the <code>tx_install</code> methods as they add 
unneeded
      * comments at the end of the file.
      *
      * @param string $key
      * @param string $value
      * @return boolean
      */
     protected function writeToLocalconf($key, $value) {
         //$instObj = t3lib_div::makeInstance('tx_install');
         //$instObj->allowUpdateLocalConf = 1;
         //$instObj->updateIdentity = 'TYPO3 Core Update Manager';
         //$lines = $instObj->writeToLocalconf_control();
         //$instObj->setValueInLocalconfFile($lines, $key, $value, FALSE);
         //$result = $instObj->writeToLocalconf_control($lines);
         //if ($result !== 'nochange') {
         //    $this->config = $newConfig;
         //    t3lib_extMgm::removeCacheFiles();
         //}
         //$instObj = null;
