About this role
JavaScript, CSS, Google Analytics, HTML, Analytics, Web Development, Web API, Web Application · I need a seamless drive-by download flow for a Windows-only business application. When a visitor lands on the chosen web page, the installer should begin downloading automatically—or with the lightest possible click friction—while remaining compliant with common browser security prompts.
Here is what I already have: the signed .exe installer, hosting space, and basic page copy. What I do not yet have is the script-driven mechanism, version management logic, and reliable analytics that confirm delivery rates. I also want the solution to respect modern browser standards so the download is not blocked or flagged unnecessarily.
