Hi Oasisfan,
To get you started up, you can try using an older Build 432 which you can download here:

This version should not auto-update so it should be at least good enough to get you going (and familiar with the process) without having to deal with the constant flux of MT4 updates. Also, if you haven’t done so already, this video outlines the basics of setting up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-rMOen4UHg.
Unfortunately we cannot bundle the Dukascopy data as their licensing terms do not allow this.
Hope this helps.
