Hi everyone
I have just tried to download the dos box 0.61 win32 installer and and when I double click on it a box comes up (dos box) says nothing then disapears again! I couldnt find anything on the site to tell me what the files are I need to download.Do I need to download all the files or just the win32? I did try to download and open the winrar file source the 5th one in the list but it said it was it was currupt when I tried to open it with winrar.I really am a bit confuzzled as to what files I should be downloading so I can play some of my old games.If someone could give me a list of what ones to download as there isnt a read me file Id be ever so greatful 😁
Thanks
Bev

DOSBOX Win32 installer does not need anything else. You should just run it as any other installer.
If it does not work:
a) try to redownload it (perhaps you have a corrupted file)
b) may be the installer wants to unpack something to a TEMP/TMP directory and it cannot on your computer - perhaps it is full or read only (just guessing here ....)
c) there is something else wrong with your computer - I have no idea what.
