Service Install example is out of date.. should implement <StandardDirectory> instead #37133
Description
All of this part
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder"> <!-- Create a folder inside program files --> <Directory Id="ROOTDIRECTORY" Name="$(var.Manufacturer)"> <!-- Create a folder within the parent folder given the name --> <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="$(Name)" /> </Directory> </Directory> </Directory> Can be replaced with
<StandardDirectory Id="ProgramFiles6432Folder"> <!-- Create a folder within the parent folder given the name --> <Directory Id="INSTALLFOLDER" Name="$(Name)" /> </StandardDirectory> and visual studio wont display the compiling error
