What is the best way to deploy a Windows Service to a custom folder?

What is the best way of installing a Windows Service to a custom folder? In the Windows Service features, I don’t see an installation directory option. So I’m assuming you have to chain the Custom Installation Directory feature with Windows Service features somehow? How do I chain this such that my executable gets copied to a custom folder and then gets installed to Windows without having to write custom install scripts? Thanks.

Hi Anshul,

Thanks for getting in touch! You would be looking for the Custom Installation Directory feature.


All you have to do is in your package step select both as featuers.

Hope this helps!
