Project Detail

Description

I need an installer that can install multiple copies of metatrader 4 install file. So let's say today I want to setup 10 demos today. I would load this multiple installer program, select whatever mt4setup.exe file I want. Tell it to install 10 copies and press start. It would automatically install one copy after another, filling in and checkmarking everything necessary to make installation successful. I just need it to install the program, not load anything after the installation process is complete. So every screen on the install process should be accounted for. Since each mt4 would need to be in a separate folder, it would have to increment both the program files folder and the start menu folder. For example:

install #1 C:\program files\metatrader - 1
install #2 C:\program files\metatrader - 2
install #3 C:\program files\metatrader - 3

The start menu Program Group folder will also have to be incremented with the same # or variables. Or just change the filename altogether.

I need to be able to customize what variables to add in front of or after the folder name.

If at later date, I need to install more demos, I need the program to be able to detect previous installs so it does not overwrite. (or I can have option to overwrite).

This needs to be completely unattended after the initial variables are set.

and so forth. download a copy of metatrader 4 demo and walk yourself through the install process: http://www.bostontechnologies.com/downloads/fxcm_lc4setup.exe . This is just example. I must be able to select ANY mt4 BROKER .exe file (they all have the same setup screens, just different logos)

i would like an autodetect feature that would check to see if there are existing tools. So let's say I already have several fxopen demos installed.

Since all mt4 install exe are the same regardless of broker, I would be able to select the .exe file myself. It should also remember the file path from last time i used.
So download copy of metatrader4 from any major fx broker (fxcm is one)
I will need at least one

So to review:
-Create an automated installer that will allow me to select any mt4 terminal installer file .exe and install as many copies incrementally as I request.
- Should be an option for me to add constant and numerical variable to program folder name, as each install needs to be in separate folder. Same for start menu program folder. Or probably easier to just designate folder name altogether whatever i want, and then add numerical, incremental variable anywhere in file name (C:\program files\[custom folder name][custom variable increment].

-designate number of installs. Also what # (name of folder) to start at. (if i already have 30 copies installed, i tell program to start with #31.
- have an icon that says "open windows explorer" It will link automatically to the C:\program files folder.

- Optional: have an ability to remember how many previous installs #. So we know what to install next.
- have ability to check for previous installations prior to starting to prevent conflicts. in case of overwrite, prompt to overwrite and have an option to overwrite all or select which ones to overwrite.

- Must work minimum on Windows XP/2003/vista/2008
-must be quick and fast.
-Programming language: C/c++/.net/or another clean common windows-compatible programming language that does not require downloading anything new.
-would prefer if this tool all could fit in one .exe file, but not required. but the smaller program, the better
- would prefer that tool be portable (no registry entries and can work off a usb drive even).

- cannot install more than one copy of mt4 at a time, unless you can do this without messing up the registry, the mt4 installs, or anything else.
- need certain info to be displayed in "about" page or on main install page about myself. will probably add donation link or other info.

-provide full, clean source code and show how it should be compiled.
- Must warranty it for a MINIMUM of 30-60 days AFTER full payment released. I will be having several people test it for bugs. there shouldnt be any. but just in case certain operating systems get errors.
-test period is 1-5 calendar days after receipt.

-screenshots or video overview of prototype/demo acceptable. should show all the configurable settings.
-should be familiar and be able to access free Skype live chat software to discuss details. I can take charge
-test period is 1-5 calendar days after receipt.
- full payment after program test good. Source code can be provided at that time. At my discretion I may use milestone payments for those who show me good prototype.

Questions that help clarify project, please PMB me. If I feel it is something that everyone should know, I will then post it on project update board.
