Is there some trick to installing from DOS box? I cannot find any kind of info on installing games from cd on the Dos Box tutorials or anywhere else for that matter. I cannot install Stars from Windows 7 pro 64 bit so if I am to run it has to be installed through Dos box, is this even possible?

I have mounted my d drive up and I am able to access the files on the Stars cd, when I type in Setup.exe it gives me this response.............( This is a windows 16-bit executable ) It does not run the program for whatever reason, am I stupid and missing something obvious or what?...

My last two computers would not play Stars, I had given up on ever being it to play it again, but then I heard it would run through Dos box, now the question is whether it can be installed in Dos box...

It's fair to install Windows 3.1 and run it under DOSBox that way, no? DOSBox does run Windows 3.1 after all.

There may be support limitations if it doesn't work, but why not try?
