file path of experts

 

Hi ! im developing a installer for my Eas and indicators to put directly on mt4 folder, is there anyway to recognize if i have to put that files on C:/Program Files/metatrader4/mql4/experts o in the user folder?

Asi you told me depends of the terminal if its opened in portable version or not but is there any common directory that works always? or a way to know the right path?.

Thank you

I think he wants a way to get it from Windows not from MT4/mql4 . . . maybe like an Environment variable.
