This script calculates and prints out the instance_id for MT4/MT5 installations.
The instance_id is used in the roaming folder names such as
C:/Users/{username}/AppData/Roaming/MetaQuotes/Terminal/{instance_id}/ Please, find more details here:
The original idea comes from the user JC, posted on the forum. Main changes are:
- Built-in Unicode conversion using StringToShortArray (wide chars, 2 bytes); this should presumably support folder names with non-ASCII characters;
- Built-in MD5 hashing using CryptEncode (CRYPT_HASH_MD5); this removes dependency from custom MD5 implementation;
