Hello everyone. I am a previous user of DOSBox v 0.63 and on my earlier machine, had it and numorous other DOS games working without a hitch. I built a new computer with a dual core processor (WinXP) and after d/l the 0.65 version of DOSBox I configured my DFend front end (newest version of course). Everything seems to work fine for Fantasy General and Race into Space- install through launch and play.
I have a Microprose "Classic Series" cdrom version of X-Com UFO Defense that I have had for years and used on my last machine without a hitch. Here is what is happening.
Enable front end and launch with the following:
mount c c:\dosgames
mount d e:\ -t cdrom -ioctl
c:
everything works fine until I go to install X-Com. Changing directory to d: and then typing cdsetup d: brings up the blue and red trim Microprose box, but it says install is finished after only a fraction of a second has expired. After hitting a key as prompted, the installer launches into the sound setup screens which work fine until it tries to write the file to an obviously missing config file, the program then drops you back to the d: prompt with nothing accomplished on the install.
I have tried various combinations of DOSBox config setups and mounting scripts with no luck at all. I am almost wondering if the disc is corrupted, but I can browse through the files and directories OK.
Any thoughts out there on this issue? I haven't seen any similar posts- nobody seems to have had install issues, just other stuff.
Thanks
