Selling "modular" Software?

Hi,

I'm looking to sell a software consisting of several modules, where the customer can choose which ones he wants to buy, through e-junkie. Basically each of the module is a separate file in a folder of the software.

I am now thinking about what would be the best way to implement that with e-junkie. The only way I can think of is adding the modules as separate products and letting the customer bundle them together via the shopping cart...

My Problem with this however is: The buyer would get every module he buys separated from the main program files and would have to place them in the correct folder himself, which I would of course like to prevent.

Is there any workaround or alternative for this?

Thanks!

There's nothing we can provide to help with that from our end of things. Every buyer simply gets issued a unique link to download an identical duplicate of whatever file you provide for each product. What happens after they download it is out of our hands.

You might want to look into ways to wrap each module into some sort of installer file that "knows" where to put the modules when the buyer downloads their file and opens it to run the installer.

As another alternative, but somewhat less fully-automated, you could zip your module file together with a .bat file, so the buyer would download their file and unzip it, and would then be expected to manually run (and trust) the .bat file to put the module where it belongs.
