The first question i would ask Is
Why are you trying to install a windows game in dosbox ?

Would you try to install battlefield 3 in dosbox ?

If you ask in the DOSBox forum, you might find more help.

Well since the game was designed for an OS written in MS-DOS I assumed this was the solution to get it running once more. I also read on a forum that dosbox could do the trick but apparently I was wrong?

Thats strange reasoning, dont install the game in the os it was written for but install it in the os that the os it was written for was written
ps: I think its more likely win 95 was written in windows nt.

but anyway your solution is to get rid of dosbox and install it in win 7 (works fine in my win 7x64 pc)
One problem you may have is the installer may be 16bit if so you need to install in a 32bit version of windows and copy the files over to your win 7x64 pc (I cant remember if I had to do that)

edit : dont think i did install in a 32bit version of windows as incoming is listed in add/remove programs

I've tried to install the game both on win 7 x64 and win XP x86. In win 7 it says like you mention that the installer won't work with 64 bit. When I tried to install it on Win XP the game would install but not start, I think it was some kind of graphical error. However I'm now trying to play it on Win 98SE using virtualbox, it installs fine but when I click on the "run game" icon it says that theres no CD eventhough there is.

copy the incoming folder to your win7 pc
inset the cd you will get a prompt saying "do you want to run isetup.exe" click yes

then click run in the options screen

edit: you can just click on incoming.exe in the game folder

It's working now but it plays automatically in fullscreen mode and it's very laggy which makes it more or less unplayable. Do you know a was to fix this?

Try installing a Glide wrapper.

Incoming is D3d only game, glide wrapper isn't the option here.

You forgot to tell us your's PC specs. CPU/GPU/RAM.

related?

This game is currently unplayable with the mouse, there is terrible mouse lag...

Well the important specs are:

AMD Phenom II 955 BE
HD 5770 in CF
8GB RAM

My mouse isn't working either however I would be satisfied using only keyboard and without all the lagging. I'll look further into the problem and google if there is a solution.

Thanks for all the help!

do you have a joystick ?

Edit: just tried it with a joystick works great

No I don't but I shall see if I can get hold of one.

Little tip i tried most of the patches around and they didnt work on my version
but the tnt patch did and it lets you select 1280x1024 instead of the default max of 1024x768

Ok, thanks for the tip, could you paste the link to the patch here? When I google I get lots of minecraft patches as result.

I think the -screenmode command line allows you to choose resolution, at least that's how I do it on my PC 😀 WinXP tho. Not tried the game recently, I expect new nVidia drivers will have broken it, as it's an old DirectX game
