Hokay, so
Yes, I read the readme and all that stuff
All it did was confuse me. 😖
So, I did my best
I ended up mounting the drives and all that stuff.
[btw, im trying to install a game from el cd.]
and whenever I try to type something like "SETUP"
It goes like
"win SETUP.EXE
LOLSAUCE THATS NOT A LEGAL COMMAND"
and then yeah.
😒
So, how can I just install Uprising ?
Dont give me some huge technical answer 😅
Just say like..
You do this, then type this, and then this
and BOOM IT WORKS YAY OMG
Or something
Oh, and my command thingy history was like
mount C "C:\Moi's Things\UPRISNG"
mount D "D:\ -t cdrom" or something, I dont remember what it was exactly but it was from a guide..
and then
D:
dir /w
then I just started using a bunch of random commands that didnt seem to work..
SO HERE I AM! 😅

From the error that you get and the command that it is trying to execute, it seems that the game you are trying to run is not a dos game but a windows one. Did you check your game's system requirements? I found a game called uprising on mobygames and there was only a Windows version.

Welllllllllll
That could be it I guess..
But someone on a different forum told me to get a DOS emulator and it would run it..
