Initial question. I always work in portable mode, so TERMINAL_DATA_PATH is the same as TERMINAL_PATH.

In general, where is the MQL5 folder with all sources located?

TERMINAL_DATA_PATH
TERMINAL_PATH

the paths depend on operation system, in my Win10 - you cannot disable User Account Control there, in Win7 the path will be similar if UAC control is enabled, if disabled the path will be exactly as it is during installation, i.e. all files will be placed in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5

void OnStart()
  {
   Print("TERMINAL_DATA_PATH = ",TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_DATA_PATH));  // TERMINAL_DATA_PATH = C:\Users\IgorM\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\D0E8219F97C8CF37AD8BF550E51FF075
   Print("TERMINAL_PATH = ",TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_PATH));            // TERMINAL_PATH = C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5
  }

I also work in portables. But you can always open the terminal from the standard location:

Click on any code in codebase and select open in ...

Opens in an editor that is not portable - look there File - Open data directory
