Hey all

I`ve run into some problems whenever I attempt to install 7th Guest. At first I got the old "mscdex not installed" error message which the "mount d f:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl" line from the readme file fixed.

But after getting into the installer and setting where to install the files I noticed the following line appearing a substantial amount of times in one of the dosbox boxes:

SHELL:Redirect output to nul

The installer itself seemed to progress through the files fine, but in actual fact, no files were installed to my system and the installer later froze once it got to "readme.txt" and I had to close dosbox after that.

The exact same thing happens if I try to install it in windows xp strangely enough except that the files before readme.txt get copied to my actual computer.

Any help in managing to get this game installed would be most helpful 😀.

Well I found a work around to the above problem. The files were installed to my system. Just not all of the since the installer was freezing, so I copied over all of the files from the "install" directory on the cd.

But now I get the error message:

Error: Couldn`t load the sound drive

No matter what sound settings I choose I get that error message.
