Hi all. I have the Wing Commander II Deluxe CD-ROM Edition here, but I can't install it. I get to the point where it asks me what drive I want to install from (not to), and then it says "Copying files, please wait..." and does nothing. It just freezes.
This happens in both DOSBox 0.63 and VDMSound 2.0.4.
Any suggestions would be mighty useful.
Thanks,
Robert Aronson
It could be a typo - did you try telling it the destination instead?
That's wierd. I too have the Wing Commander II Deluxe CD-ROM Edition and can install/run it in DOSBox 0.63 without any problems.
I also make an ISO and use IMGMOUNT to mount my DOS CDs, though. May or may not have something to do with it.
1. Mount the HD as C and CD as D
2. Go into D:\
3. Run WINSTALL.BAT from D:\
4. Choose C
5. Choose sound settings
6. Play the game by running WC2 from D:\

Yes. No luck.

Doesn't work. I can't get past choosing the sound settings -- it wants to install the game right after that, and it freezes when it tries. When I press Escape while the game is "copying files," it asks me to insert the original Wing Commander II CD-ROM. It is the original Wing Commander II CD in the drive.
EDIT: I tried using a virtual CD drive and an ISO created by Alcohol 120%. Didn't work. Same stuff.

You might want to try mounting the ISO file directly in DOSBox using the IMGMOUNT command, as that seems to work for Freddo
Okay, I've mounted the ISO image to "drive" E, but now I can't find the game and setup EXEs for the D-Fend frontloader to use! D-Fend can't open an ISO to look for executables. How am I supposed to run the executables from the ISO without being able to find them?
Thanks,

I wouldn't know, since I don't use D-Fend (I just do everything manually using the DOSBox prompt and by editing my dosbox.conf). You could use ISOBuster to see what's inside.
No, I mean... I know what's in the ISO -- I made it, after all. I ripped it from the original CD in order to mount it to a virtual drive because that's what you guys suggested.
Problem is I have to install the game before I use a virtual drive, and installing the game is the issue.
