Something along these lines?

Use a path and straighten it out and then add a bend at the end.
Make a cube and re size it to fit your specs
In attributes make the cube positive
in attributes/link select parent and use the name of your path as the parent also check the box that says constrain to path
exit attributes.
in multi replicate choose 100 copies -  x offset put 0.05 
multi replicate
select all the boxes.
there is a chain link looking thing two boxes below the attributes select it and G will appear select that.
Congratulations : you have just accomplished multi replicating a cube along a path !!
done.
