i've been trying to get wing commander armada to work, and i have got it working fine but i ran into a small hitch when making a icon to start it

the shortcut command line goes like this:
C:\games\DOSBox-0.63\dosbox.exe c:\games\armada\armadadb.exe -exit -c "loadfix -65" -fullscreen -conf "armada dosbox.conf" -noconsole

the conf command line bit just doesn't work i have the "armada dosbox.conf" in my c:\games\armada directory so in thoery this should work fine, but its not when i click on the shortcut it says " EMS driver is not VCPI compliant." the config file has ems=false, so it seems the conf file is not loading, i've tried using its dos name "armada~1.con" tried naming it dosbox.conf and placing it in the armada directory and leaving the -conf out of the command line, it just doesn't wanna work, i'm i doing something wrong?, how do i fix it?

i've looked everywhere and i cant find a answer so i thought i'd post here
thanks in advance for ya help

You've gotta tell it WHERE the config file is too.
