I can't install my newly acquired copy of SS1. The hardware is a P166 MMX machine running DOS 7 (Windows 95 booted in DOS mode).
All 9 disks seem OK - I've managed to take copies of them without incident, and the installer grinds through each disk OK. The installer does some uncompressing of files along the way, and then after seemingly copying all of the 9th disk, it launches into some more serious uncompressing. The % complete status reaches 80% or so and then it throws an error:
"Couldn't load filetype res" or something like that.
Has anyone seen this before? I've tried using the offered boot disk, and I've tried booting to DOS 6.22.
