hi, can some1 go step by step how to install and get this working

i dont kno understand it in the readme

i kno how to do it from

Step 1
Unzip the archive and copy the resulting install folder to any
location where you want it to reside. Make sure that all the file 
contents are kept together. The install folder can be renamed to 
whatever suits you.
Step 2
You will need to disable "Visual Notification" when an application 
crashes. To disable, start drwtsn32.exe and uncheck "Visual 
Notification". The next time your app crashes, it will restart 
during the restart interval set in the INI file. 
For XP users you must do a few extra things:
Right-click My Computer and choose Properties. (If you don't have a 
My Computer icon on your desktop, start Windows Explorer and 
right-click My Computer in the left pane.) Click the Advanced tab 
in the System Properties dialog box, then choose the Error Reporting 
button on the lower right. Disable error reporting in the "Error 
Reporting" dialog box and uncheck "But notify me when critical errors 
occur".

but then i dont understand the rest from

Step 3
You must configure the INI file - instructions are inside the
default INI file provided. Be sure to change the sample
configuration to load the programs that you want to load. 
The sample configuration will load up notepad.exe and calc.exe.
You can add up to 128 programs from the INI file. You can
also load up multiple instances of the mean loader by 
installing the loader into separate folders and changing the 
"ServiceName" setting to something unique for each instance.
Step 4
======
Run the command file: loader_install
NOTE: To run a command file, simply double-click on it, or type 
it in from a command-line prompt, or create a shortcut to it
and run the shortcut.
Running loader_install will install the service. You can control 
the service from the Services console GUI provided by Windows, or 
you can control the server and associated processes from the 
command line prompt, or by creating your own command files. See the
sample command files for examples of how to control processes from
your own command files.
 
If something goes wrong, it will be logged to the meanloader.log 
file, which is a text file. You can open it using any text editor
such as notepad.
NOTE: To uninstall the service run: loader_uninstall
Step 5
======
To start the service run the command file: loader_start
If everything was set up right, then all of the programs
specified in the INI file should load up. By default, the
INI is set to load up calc.exe and notepad.exe as examples. 
You must modify the INI to load up the applications that 
you want to load.
When you kill a program, it should restart as specified in the 
INI process settings.
If you run into problems, take a look at the meanloader.log file.

messages.
NOTES:
Running meanloader.exe without arguments will display all 
valid commands as shown above.
You can log in/out without affecting the loaded programs and
they will continue to function no matter if you are logging
in as a user or not. NOTE: Some programs will shut down when
you log out. This is an issue being investigated for a work
around.
If you restart your computer then all the programs specified
in the INI file will automatically reload after the computer
boots up. You will not have to log in as a user to reload
anything.

The mEAnLoader.ini file is configured to load two sample apps under Windows.

If you installed the loader and started the service, then you should see notepad and calc load up.

If you got at least that far (notepad and calc are running), then take a look inside the ini file for more detials on how things are configured.
