You need to run an installation program that will do that for you.

For starters you need a cd-rom drive (where you install from) and a folder in your harddrive (where you install to).

E.g.

Go to My PC and create a new folder on C: called msdos
Enter DOSBox

Z:\>mount c c:\msdos

Z:\>mount -cd (to see a list of available cd-rom in your system.)
CDROMs found: 1
0. F:\ (For me it's letter F. For you may be a different letter)

Z:\>mount d f:\ -t cdrom

Z:\>d:

D:\>dir
to see what is the name of the installation program. Usually install, setup or whatever

D:\>INSTALL
When prompted, install to harddrive c: and name a folder to install game to. Example C:\GAME1 (I advise using short filenames)
After installing....

D:\>C:

C:\>cd game1 (the folder we just installed game into)

C:\GAME1\>dir
to see what's the right command to launch it.

C:\GAME\>play.bat

Thanks, I am using Windows XP Home.

So, step one, download DOSbox. Do I SAVE it, or RUN it??????

I figure, save it. Created a folder, now, your next step is,

"Enter DOSbox". "ENTER"??????????? WTF does "enter" mean?

Double click? Right-click and select "Run" what????????? Right click and select "Open"??????????

The next line you type says,

"Z:\>mount c c:\msdos"

Okay, LISTEN, will you PLEASE>?>? MANY PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!! You have to be specific, specific, specific.

I happen to think you mean, "In the window that will appear, type the following:"

YOU CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT assume anything.

every single tiny baby step has to be spelled out. Literally spelled out.
YES, I really am that stupid!

GTFOOHN

Your attiude is not appreciated here. This is not a babysitting forum. If you cannot use common sense then we cannot help you.

We can assume whatever the hell we want. We assume that the people who frequent these forums actually have at least a quarter of a brain in their head, obviously in some cases we assume too much.

Your attitude about yourself is also not encouraging. You automatically assume that you are "stupid" and that "every single tiny baby step has to be spelled out".

So

Talk to a life coach.
Get some self-esteem.
Learn how to post on forums without sounding like an ass.
Tons of question/exclamation marks are a no no. (Oops, I'm sorry let me spell that out....THEY ARE BAD)
Come back here and post in a new thread (with a title that actually mentions your problem) without repeating the above listed mistakes.

Thread locked.
