Previous versions of OECT (before 3.4.x.x) was able to be installed on user defined path. But, now, it installs by default to system defined "%ProgramFiles%\OEC" and "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\OEC" and "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\OEC"

Is it possible to modify this paths through registry (or any other way) for more suitable location of OECT and its components for user?

No, it is not possible to modify these paths.

Thank you, Victor. Why do you think so?

This paths are are relative, not absolute, I think.
There are some entries in registry, like
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEC and
HKCU\Software\OEC and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{D2D84068-A217-464E-9F1F-39DCE978EE20}

And it's strange that you can install separate plug-in like Excel Add-In on your preferable path but main routine can't...

Excel Add-In is a COM that is used by Excel, but other plugins are used by Trader.

It was a second, not main question :)

Why "it is not possible to modify these paths"?
What do you think about edit of corresponding registry entries by hands?

You can move Trader's folder manually to any place without changes in registry: it will work. But you will need to update registry data after moving the plugins. The next update will install all to the old place.
