textfile_dir not inst

[irnmn]

use command msiexec /i windows_exporter-0.25.0-amd64.msi ENABLED_COLLECTORS="cpu,cs,iis,logical_disk,memory,net,os,process,scheduled_task,service,system,tcp,textfile" LISTEN_PORT="9182" TEXTFILE_DIR="C:\custom_metrics" freezing process in progress But if you run without the last command, then everything is successful

This my fault, because as I was implementing #1262 (v0.24.0) I forgot to update the wxs https://github.com/prometheus-community/windows_exporter/blob/6ede10e29aeea4e5aa250a20ade395ce14058fdc/installer/windows_exporter.wxs#L47-L48

With #1262 the flag --collector.textfile.directory was marked deprecated and then in the next release removed by #1337 (v0.25.0)

@breed808 should I bump in a PR to fix? If so my question would be, should I also update the ID like Id="TEXTFILE_DIRS" instead of Id="TEXTFILE_DIR"

[breed808]

Yes please, a PR is welcome. I'd go with Id="TEXTFILE_DIRS" as that clearly indicates that multiple directories can be supplied. The TEXTFILE_DIR reference in the main README will need to be updated too.

will there be a new version 0.25.1 or what?
