Installation/Update of Windows Service - Set proper directory

Hi all,

I would like to ask about: “Can I set custom directory for Installation/Update of Windows Service”?

For instance:
I would like to have Windows Service in the C:\MyServices\ServiceA

but when i click “Deploy Now” it will install service in the C:\Octopus\Applications\Test\ServicePackage\1.0.0\

and after each deploy it will create new folder and delete/install service again like:
C:\Octopus\Applications\Test\ServicePackage\2.0.0
C:\Octopus\Applications\Test\ServicePackage\3.0.0
C:\Octopus\Applications\Test\ServicePackage\4.0.0\

and so on…

Can I somehow set installation folder like C:\MyServices\ServiceA because i would like install my service every time in the same folder.

Thanks inadvance!
