Service Install example is out of date..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
