Hello,

I've got floppys of "Das Schwarze Auge" part 1 and part 2. There are 5 floppys of part 1 and 8 of part 2 (additional 4 of speech-pack).

I tried to install part 1 using physical floppy drive A:
mount a a:\ -t floppy
INSTALL.EXE requests a folder to install in. Then tells me to insert floppy 1 and press a key but accepts no floppy of the set. It does not continue and does not install any files. Floppy 1 has the label "DSA I 3 1". The floppysize is 720. I tried CTRL-F4 without result.

I copied all 6 floppyfiles in one folder and mounted it:
C:\DOSDISK contains INSTALL.EXE, DATA.S01 - DATA.S05
mount a c:\DOSDISK -t floppy.
INSTALL.EXE does not continue. I tried
mount a c:\DOSDISK -t floppy -label "DSA I 3 1"
without result.

I suppose INSTALL.EXE can not check floppylabels and therefore fails.

What can I do?

edit:
I solved the problem. I've Windows XP Professional. I installed using XP without DOSBox.
Part 1: using physical drive A.
Part 2: copy all files of 12 floppys in one folder and select
INSTALL.EXE.
You need DOSBox to play the games...

So long
