to do this in code something like this?
get database folder
if mac 
 add structure name look for plugins folder
   if not in existence create it
   copy plugin from component plugin folder
if windows
 look for plugins folder
  create if needed
  copy from inside component plugin folder

I'm not sure how to get component plain folder
in 4D folder look for component (folder) and open?

what if the user changes the name of the component???

THanks
