Hi;

I need to be able to install files to a computer tree that has a random issued tree in the User Path from their installtion of their application.

This is something like C:\Users\*Random_Username*\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\*Random Directory*\Terminal\MQL4\Files Where I would need to place files in the Files directory.

All the directory tree information prior to \*Random_Username*\ and after, until Terminal \*Random Directory*\ and then again after, is always consistent. I just need to be able to use some type of wild card for the \*Random_Username*\ and subsequently the \*Random Directory*\ for the install of files into the Files path.

Does anyone know how to do this with CreatInstall?

Your help is greatly appreciated and thank you.

Kind regards,

Terry

#appdata# contains the current user name.
You can know *Random Directory* with Source code command but there is a problem when there are some folders in Terminal.

ffind fd
fd.init( macrox_do( "#appdata#\MetaQuotes\Terminal\*.*"), $FIND_DIR )
foreach finfo cur,fd
{
macrox_setstr("randomdir", cur.name)
}

I will send a message to you via email with attachments to help in understanding this better.

Thank you,

Terry
