By the way, another possibility would be to change the Pd path - don't know if this is useful at all.
Yes it is, I didn't think about this possibility.

I've just found out another alternative that is about using sys_gui(set env(VST_PATH)) for retrieving the vst folder without admin rights, we can use also [hcs/sys_gui] in a patch, so if we could set this path by sending a message to [vst~] that would be neat.

Hello,
if we want VST_PATH to be accessed with getenv() on windows > XP, pd have to be loaded with admin account...
maybe using a newer method like GetEnvironmentVariable() would be more appropriate,
or another method that would allow vst~ to access a vstplugins directory?

I'm using mingw for compilation, but I'm not sure I could compile all flext externals, so I couldn't try to make a patch, sorry for this...
