"Path not valid" for IMGMount

I'm trying to create a .bat-file with which I can launch Monkey Island,
but without the need to launch and configure DOSBox manually.
The full script in my .bat-file looks like this:

"dosbox -c "mount d h:\ -t cdrom" -c "mount c c:\monkey" -c c: -c monkey"

This lets me launch DOSBox and enter the game automatically,
but I need a CD Image that I created to be mounted in DAEMON Tools.
I wanted to try to launch the game from the CD Image instead of mounting it first,
but I have no luck with that.

The command I'm using, is this:

"imgmount d c:\mim.nrg -t iso"

When I enter that into DOSBox, or include it in my .bat-file,
I get the follow error:

"Could not load image file: c:\mim.nrg
MSCDEX: Failure: Path not valid."

If I try to run it anyway, I will get an error saying "No CD-Rom drive or MSCDEX not installed".

What's wrong..? Is it the format of the CD Image..?

nrg is nero specific, try iso.

1+1=10

H-a-l-9000, yes. It was the fileextension that was the problem,
but now I need to find a program that can generate a CD Image with the data that carries the protection,
or else I'm left with an image that only has the files, and nothing more,
and then I won't get the sound.

DosFreak, do you know if it's possible to hide ScummVM's files away..?
I mean, so that I can skip the interface and just launch the game..?

Thank you for the tips.

Well the cue/bin pairs should carry (most) protection types.

I found out that there is a completely other track just for the audio on the CD.
The sounds are split into 24 .wav-files which take up more than 400 MB,
so it's pointless to create a Mini Image, which I originally intended.
However, I got the game to work with sound, and it works without problems.

Now I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to copy these .wav-files to where I have the game and make it use them somehow,
but just putting them there, won't work.

Thank you for the help.
