c# - Installing process as service directory decision -

i have process going run windows service.
have installed windows service , works.

my question guide lines process directory.

on machine im going deploy it, setup need copy .exe windows/system32 , install service ? or can deploy c:\myapp\myapp.exe , install service there.

it not required .exe in /windows/system32/ "best practice" ?

no. shouldn't install windows system folder. that's operating system code.

you should install own application folder within program files folder, , register windows service thereafter.
