Have you tried using INSTALLDIR instead of TARGETDIR?

It should match the configurable directory of your application:
<Feature Id='Complete' Title='Example' Description='Description' 
Display='expand' Level='1' ConfigurableDirectory='INSTALLDIR'>

Because that is the property that gets sets when the user chooses a 
folder to install the application in.
