when i use dosbox to install wc2 deluxe edition CD, i run winstall after mounting my d and c drive. when the install loads i select the install drive, but the directory part has "Camedat" already typed in. and i can only delete up to "Cam" and when i try to type the pathname i cant type a colon. if i just hit enter to skip, i get another selection to save time/space i can choose either and then i get an error saying "wing commander 2 game not found. you must enter the directory containing the wing commander 2 game."

then it just sends me back to the drive selection screen. does anyone know whats wrong? im clueless. anyone that has this game, what and how did you install?

did you read the first topic in this forum ?

Anyway try mount the cdrom with -t cdrom flag
like
mount c c:\
mount d cdromdrive:\ -t cdrom

and set your keyboard layout to us international.

it didnt work, and its not really a dosbox question....

edit: dosbox gives me some write protection errors on the 2nd box(not the one you enter commands in) this *could* be the problem. any ideas on a workaround?
