Thanks, but no thanks. I have both games' original disks. But the downloadable version at Abandonia worked for me.

I also just copied the entire Forge of Virtue disk into my Ultima7 directory and ran the install.exe file from there and no luck either. 😢 Perhaps I'll have to buy the Ultimate CD edition off amazon or ebay if I want to solve this...

I just discovered this and am at work, but will be getting Dosbox as soon as I get home. I've been trying to install Ultima's 7/7pt2/8 for some …
