MS-DOS names are limited to 8 characters. "Constructor" is longer than that. Try using short filenames for folders (sub-directories).
Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
"Constructor" is an 11 letter name. DOSBOX only support 8.3 character file names.
The 8 is everthing that comes before the "." and the 3 is everything that comes after the "."
EX: 12345678.123 or MSD.EXE
Since your directory name "Constructor" is too long, DosBox will have to shorten it for you leaving it like, "Constr~1".
So once you change to your "C:" drive, type in:
dir
and you should see a "Constr~1" directory.
Type in CD constr~1 to change to that directory.
If this isn't something that your that familiar with I recommend a "front-end" (A GUI for DosBox) like DFEND so you don't have to type in commands to play your games. (I love typing commands so I can't help ya with DFEND)
